There are lots of things that justify fear, however, to give in to it is, as Herbert says, the first step into the grave. I have found that fear and worry are two of the same. They seem to be about the future. You can stop the fear by putting yourself in the ever present now.

Fear is something that traps you, paralyzes you, although sometimes necessary, it is something that should help transform you, renew you and make you someone totally immune to that which terrifies you.

Heb 13:6 KJV So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

The best part about climbing is overcoming your fear. It can feel even better during bouldering since the risk of hurting yourself is more present: if you fall, you fall.

One of my best moments was repeatedly not being brave enough to try the static move that I knew I had to do and I was capable of physically, but I just couldn't do it mentally. I kept seeing myself slipping and falling in a way where I would hurt myself and then I would be even more afraid next time (which could take weeks depending on how much I hurt myself).

And then when I finally did it because I got so annoyed with myself and thought "fuck it, if this is going to be the last thing I am going to do, so be it" (obviously overdramatic), it was actually quite simple. I was now able to do that move and similar ones without much hesitation. I gained more trust in my instincts to know when to let go to fall safely. Climbing is at some point really mostly a mindset thing.

Fall training was also pretty cool. Trust your partner and just let go.

I really miss it :(
