Hello From Poland
Dear Steph,
I am your age. I am a climber from Poland. My climbing adventure is quite short. It started about one year and a half ago. My climbing problems are the same as most beginners have. It is the fear from falling. I tried to fight with it, but it gave no effect until I started watching films with free soloing climbers like you. After having watched the movie titled “Diamond free solo” on youtube I understood that my problem is in my mind. What you said in the movie was a breakthrough in the way I started to think about climbing. I focus on my route, I try to find my peace of mind and I simply stop thinking about falling. While I get panic – stricken on the climbing wall and have protection I compare my situation to yours while you are free soloing and I see how my problem is ridiculous. That really works 🙂 Thanks for inspiration
Best regard
Dorota
Thank you Dorota!
I hope you have fun days out climbing 🙂 🙂
Steph
