Doug said that climbing has blessed him with  greater self knowledge and gain in all of the noble aspects involved in a climb. Doug also enjoys the clarifying aspects of the climb. "When I am climbing, I am focused on an immediate task and it is clarifying," Doug said. In addition, Doug expressed that he feels privileged to have the opportunity to climb some of the classic routes that will inevitably be gone in the next fifty to one hundred years due to global warming.
