‘Eventually there is a failure, even the best climbers that have ever been, there’s always been the project that they didn’t do…you call it uncertainty but it’s almost like a guarantee that you will have things that you don’t climb’.

Sophia Siddique Harvey’s experience of the unfinished is the strangest - and most uplifting - that I’ve ever encountered.

If a project goes off track, stops being enjoyable, is no longer needed, or morphs into something else, then stopping or diverting to a different path can be good choices. The route may be more scenic.
