When friend groups turn outdoor activities into competitions

Our hiking group of college friends has slowly turned into everyone trying to one-up each other with increasingly extreme adventures and half of us can't keep up anymore but no one wants to be the one to say we should dial it back. We used to just enjoy being outside together and now every trip feels like a competition.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared joy has been replaced by performance, and everyone is too proud to admit they miss the simpler version.
