Falling is part of climbing ✌️ #rockclimbing #climbing #escalada

It is important to remind ourselves that overcoming fear doesn’t just mean to replace it with feeling relaxed. After some training, some falls will feel like you didn’t even think about them, but in some specific cases, the fear will still be there. It could be because the crux is close to the ground, the falling area is not safe, you have your foot underneath the rope, or you are on the very top of a high boulder. In these cases, in which is absolutely legitimate to feel afraid, fear acceptance is crucial. This translates into learning to manage it so that it empowers you, rather than limits you.
