HIGH EXPOSURE EXIT
It's the last pitch of our version of "The Classic" on Granite Mountain! I quest up the "High Exposure Exit" only to quake in my boots and bail after two bolts. Luckily, a hero was on standby to save the day!

      You did this recently too! Those bolts where just replaced not too long ago!

    Fastest way to reprogram your fear response to falling is to emerse your self in it. In other words Fall on purpose, over and over again. Eventually your fear response will ease to a level that you can manage.

    Man the feeling of pushing through a fear and crushing a climb is awesome. I’m currently trying to learn lead rope solo and the fear factor is like learning to lead all over again. I’ve climbed in the 12s and now I’m freaking out on 9 and easy tens. I love the adrenaline and I’m pushing the bounds of that fear. This last weekend I found a route that looked cool and just onsighted it. Super scary just going for it but it was a mid ten and it felt like a cruise. The motivation is awesome

    I mean this with all due respect and I think it’s awesome you pushed through the fear but is outdoor lead climbing maybe just not for you? I’ve dealt with fear on runouts and sketchy/scary climbs but this seems like an extreme amount of fear for a well protected 5.6

  • @DocMacKay819
    @DocMacKay819 4 місяці тому

    If I may, as a climbing product with a mentor in the 80s, if you're feeling, struggling this much leading a 5.6 - 5.8, you need to step back and get more instruction. Learn to place nuts and stoppers with NO cams on your rack. Seriously, kids these days rely WAY too much on cams for protection. Yes, they can be quick and bomber but, you need instruction and time with gear placement. It'll make you a stronger/better climber. Find a crag/bouldering area where you can literally sew up a crack with stoppers, even if it's a traverse 6-8 feet off the ground. I use to put my pride in my back pocket, put my harness on, roped and racked up at a popular bouldering area and did just that, WITHOUT a belayer! If I pumped out, I'd just jump to the ground. I'd even reverse the climb and clean the gear. I'm sure I got many looks, but I gained so much knowledge and strength under duress while close to the deck, as well as becoming an expert in placing gear. Cams eventually became the in thing but they just added to my arsenal. Gear and rack up to lead a pitch, but put a top rope on it as well. Lead the pitch as if there's no TR. It'll give you mental time to place gear without being as gripped. We did this more than once as well as on the difficult More Monkey Than Funky at J-Tree. Take it slow and become an expert at your craft. THEN go out and teach others. Praise God for my Mentor Roger E. Barnes, Poway, CA. 1981-1985.

    Great video !! My compliment !! I share the same fear problem , probably at the contrary of what you usually do I climb with stronger than me partners and they just walk on 5.12d/13a so when it is my "turn to" lead they do not understand my fear and do not empatise very much.. the last picth for example was a "wet" 5.11d partially bolted with a "crak climbin" exit around 5.7 (the last 10 mt or 20ft) they do not give me "friends or nuts" since they think it is "just 5.7" after you climbed a bad protected 5.11d .. the result was me stay in that crak jammed with my leg for 40minutes shaking and trying to protect myself by tying a knot on a service cord that luckily I had with me and fitting the knot like a nut... it was a horrible and terrifying experience, I didn't fall. Once I got down the comment was disgusting because it had "taken me forever" to get up.. .. Now I try to recover the pleasure to climb on easy route both bolted or trad.

      You could totally just sling it without the overhand. In this case I wanted the pro a little higher (there was a ledge) and it was windy so I wanted the sling snug. The knot reduces the sling's strength from 22Kn down to 11Kn...but 11 is plenty.
