Great post from David Smith about his latest hiking trip:

What I kept coming back to was that in order to have a true “Adventure”, there has to be a high degree of likelihood that you won’t complete it as planned. If the outcome is all but a foregone conclusion when you begin, then you aren’t exploring, you aren’t finding the edges of your abilities.

I also love what has become his yearly routine of taking time away to reflect in the weeks leading up to WWDC.
