Dave has arguably one of the most diverse and impressive log books going. In his 25 years of climbing he's climbed 8C boulders, 9a sport climbs, E11 trad, XII,12 mixed and 8b+ free solo.
Mark Manson once quoted in one of his books "If you lack the motivation to make change in your life, do something, anything, and then harness the reaction to that action as a way to begin motivating yourself.
Action -> Inspiration -> Motivation = Consistency.
