Attend indoor rock climbing gyms multiple times a month in order to work on complicated problems that test my mental and physical strength. Rock climbing allows me to not only get stronger but also teaches me to tackle a problem in another way if I am not able to solve it immediately. Teaches that when setbacks are present, if you view it from another perspective and train harder, the problem will be solved.
