Well done man! Being able to climb any sport 6c (single or multipitch) is actually one of my main goal for 2020 so I understand how you felt

Thanks, Fabien! 😄 Yeah, I was pretty stoked when I finally got the redpoint. The crux was the last three moves, and I kept falling there, haha! It was a really great feeling...you will enjoy it too 😄

from Australia, really liked your video. I was asked to go climbing at Arapiles about 1 hour ago, but I am in a lockdown zone, not able to move more then 10km. But am training with homemade pullup bars, pushups, etc. Started 35 years ago, and now almost 71, but still want to climb harder. So, again, thank you.

Agree with mixing in harder routes, while easier ones are still important to maintain overall endurance. Falling on harder routes can actually be safer since they have fewer ledges and more overhangs than easier routes.

You're absolutely right! I've been lead climbing way too much within my comfort zone. As soon as we'll be able to go climbing again, I'm going to find myself a beautiful project.

That is good to hear, Val Goes Outdoors! Actually, I regret I did not push myself outdoors more. Good luck climbing outside your comfort zone - and stay safe :)

definitely changed me forever, I love hiking mountains but to get to the top of some of the peaks you have to rock climb or scramble a bit that's how I started. Now I am absolutely hooked the adrenaline from fear of falling is like no other... Great video!

Thanks, The ninja on the mountains! Nice! Yeah, there often some scrambling and climbing, even on hiking. I actually hiked (our should I say scrambled) the GR20 on Corsica a few years back. 80% felt like gnarly scrambling 😆

I lose most of my fear of falling on my first 6c+ redpoint, odd enough I also learn about skipping clip to save energy for the sent on that same session hahaha. Yes just like u said, the mentality is way important than strength. As the mentality change, everything change :)

Haha! There must be something about that 6c/6c+ is the sweet spot for loosing your fear of falling 😆 Actually, it probably come with some truth, because things start getting steeper and the holds become smaller than on easier routes - I understand people are afraid of falling on a 5a, because often there are a lot ledges or big holds you can hit on your way down 😉 And yeah, on skipping clips, it’s always a fine balance between energy conservation and safety...I don’t mind skipping a clip if it is safe 😄

well i find that many climbers restrict themself to doing things outside their confort sone when it comes to hard climbing 6c is a hard grade, but when you master that your pretty much on a level where you can project any route you want, i still struggel with 6c every now and than, but have an outdoor project on a 7c/8a that i am very close to doing but i have not as i only have chance in vactions cause i need to take a flight down to that crag in order to try it, never really had a problem on going all in for the moves there, but on other routes im can be pretty scared as i get scared if i don't feel 100% in control, and therfore i think the fear of falling will come back even thought i get rid of it every now and than, but that's what you get for mainly being a bouldere, every time you hit the rope you get scared, but great strength comes from it to, i also feel when i rope climb allot the fear goes away for a bit and i get weaker as a boulderer as the moves ussally is allot harder on the bouldering wall, not saying it can't be hard on the rope wall to cause it can be just as hard there, well congratz on your send of your project and goodluck with furture project and make sure you still find a way to inproove during covid-19

Thanks, Kelvin! :) It was a time ago since I did the 6c at Seglora, but breaking into climbing 6c more confidently really helped overcome my fear of falling. I guess you are right that once you can climb 6c and up, then you can really start climbing harder sport climbing routes with peace of mind :) I think you are right on bouldering vs. rope climbing. I also feel that bouldering is "harder" in the sense that each move are tough and strenuous, but sport climbing is more about endurance and mental game than raw power - and that is what attracts me with sport climbing. I am in the same position as you. I have to fly or drive a long way top the nearest crag. The nearest crag to my home time is Gothenburg in Sweden, which is 6 hours of travel with car and ferry. So, I definitely feel your pain. But really nice that you are working on a 7c/8a project.

i had time to think about how i would improve myself on the rock, i love climbing, and ive alwayes never knew, what category i was in, was i trad, lead, or just a pussy on a top rope?? when i stand infront of the rock again, i will prepare myself, leave my ego on the ground, because thats why we do what we do. We now have a chance to be present, in the moment, just holding on by your finger and toes, in the natures grasp. You are in status quo.

I left the idea of having to "close" everything I start climbing, and start saying to myself that it is okay to return from a climbing trip and not having closed all open projects. That has helped a lot. I guess, I've said to myself, "just have fun and enjoy". That has helped pushing myself into harder grades while climbing outside. But I totally acknowledge that people like us, who have to do some serious travelling when we want to go rock climbing, get stuck in that mindset of having to close our projects fast, because we might not return for a while.

This is nice and all, but it don’t apply to trad. I mean retreating of a route is the worst that can happen. Either you spend like 30 bucks on the equipment you leave to safely descent or you descent of some sketchy ass stuff like a knot sling jammed in a crack.
