Delivering Adventure

How to Avoid Misadventure - Part 2 with Will Gadd


Listen Later

Pro athlete, ACMG Alpine Guide and adventure influencer Will Gadd continues to share his philosophies risk taking. Will reflects on experiences from climbing Niagara Falls, a near misadventure with Sara Hueniken and a funny story from an adventure in the Cirque of the Unclimbables.

Key Takeaways

Reflecting on the decision-making process: Focus on the quality of the decision-making process instead of solely focussing on the outcomes. A good outcome is not always the result of a good decision.

Gaining experience by learning from mistakes: Every situation we experience is an opportunity to learn and grow. Experience is only good if you can learn from it.

Managing risk by lowering the consequences: One of the keys to avoiding misadventure is to take steps to lower the consequences if something were to go wrong.

Identifying risk tolerance beforehand: Everyone needs to determine in advance the level of risk they are comfortable taking. Helping people through this process is extremely important for anyone that finds themselves guiding others.
