Kai is such an example of someone who strives to be his best, both on and off the rock. It's both humbling and motivating!

[@ClimbingGold]

He really is inspiring!

Great clip, relevant topic to any human being. Will check out the full interview. Kai is one of my climbing role models and cool to see him continuing to grow considering his success already

[@geraint8989]

Seems like an intrinsically human thing to adjust quickly to ‘new normals’. It protects us in times of intense hardship because it enables us to endure almost anything, but it does blunt things when we achieve growth and success. At least being aware of this allows you to recognise, objectively, doing well.

Kai seems like the Alex Hamilton of climbing. Really great human being! Or maybe Hamilton is the Kai Lightner of climbing! 😅
