Is Free Will an illusion?
Most certainly it is. However the climb Free Will most certainly exists in a tangible and climbable form. This is the steepest 5.10 at Index. Free Will incorporates all those moves you practice in the climbing gym but never get to use much. Heel Hooks, knee bars, jugs, perma-draws, heck... you even get hand cracks out the roof... what more could you want?
Free Will stays dry in the rain, is shady on hot days, and is easy to find. However, Free will is an illusion. Our wills are simply not of our own making. Thoughts and intentions emerge from background causes of which we are unaware and over which we exert no conscious control. We do not have the freedom we think we have.
