In reply to Hans:
I've realised over the years that I can become a little too goal focused in climbing, and I need regular 'escapism' in everyday life for balance. I think these have influenced my suggestions / experience.
When I've got jaded with climbing I've:
Stopped. (Taken up cycling and fell running at different times)
Changed focus (When I came back after stopping did a lot more head pointing and red pointing on local crags, which I'd never done before, and was time efficient with a young family)
Changed focus. I got a bit frustrated with not climbing 'as hard as I should' one Spring so got stuck into rehearsing and completing a big rock route link up that Summer
Changed focus. Got stuck into consistent training (lockdown) which when I came out of it meant I was climbing harder than ever in my late 40s, and was very motivating
Change focus. When I've had enough of pulling hard (for me!) on sports routes go to the mountains and / or a new area
REALLY important for me to keep enjoyment high -
Don't judge 'success' in terms of routes done but quality sessions / fun sessions out
Climb with good friends - climbing (and running) is my social life - I look forward to catching up with people as much as going climbing / running
Have goals I work towards. This may be a 'hard' route or grade, for me, but could equally be a big classic Ive not done or going places Ive not been
Have (a variery) of adventures - mix it up (linked to above)
Go to nice places. Take time to notice stuff
