"The only constant is change." - Heraclitus
Life is all about changes; seasons change, transiting from different phases of life, constantly evolving and improving.
With changes comes instability and the uncertainties, how do one keep anchored to what they hope to achieve?
This year Freddie was involved in 2 separate climbing festivals with diversity and inclusion in mind, across 2 seasons, and 2 continents.
Both festivals, he was imparting outdoor skills to people of colour, and created a short film from one of them.
