I know. But how does m tree know who has experience and has been affected by exposure and who doesn’t. Weird thing to be trying to silence

dorsal vagal mode.
Phrase of the day! And that pretty much summarizes what happened to me. I've gone back and looked at my photos of that section of the climb and it doesn't look like that big of a deal. But in real life I couldn't make myself do it. Damn primitive monkey brain.
Thanks again all for your insight and comments.

You're on the right track. I was able to significantly reduce my fear of exposure with concerted effort, and you can too.seeking timberline wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 4:10 pmdorsal vagal mode.

"armchair psychologists" coming from a person with over 1000 forum posts, a private checklist and zero trip reports gave me a good chuckle. If the advice is in good spirit, from personal experience, well worded, and coming from a want to help the OP I don't see what the issue is - as long as its taken with a grain of salt like all online comments should be. There will always be ornery and obnoxious people online no matter where you are.

Oh I see. I didn’t realize that people like that (private checklists etc) were chiming in here.-wren- wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 4:41 pm"armchair psychologists" coming from a person with over 1000 forum posts, a private checklist and zero trip reports gave me a good chuckle.
