dc.descriptionIn a 1987 interview with Beth Wald, Wolfgang Güllich, a respected German rock climber, said, "In climbing you are always faced with new problems in which you must perform using intuitive movements, and then later analyze them to figure out why they work, and then learn from them" (70). Re-reading the Güllich interview, I’m reminded how much the writing process resembles climbing, and how — in most instances — climbers talk about their sport like writers talk about their craft, because it is equally true that “In [writing] you are always faced with new problems in which you must perform using intuitive movements, and then later analyze them to figure out why they work, and then learn from them.” Like climbers, writers collaborate to solve problems: they consult colleagues and mentors for guidance. And just as guides cannot climb the rock for their protégés, writing center consultants cannot write papers for their clients. Both the climber and the writer must take risks in order to succeed.en_US
