“My own fear-of-failure buster is hot, humid climbing walls. I’ve found that my ability drops drastically compared to many others in this situation, and I’ll get brutally burned off by climbers that I could out-climb in almost any other situation. So I make myself have a session in a busy, warm bouldering wall with locals who have the problems wired at least every couple of months.”

– Dave MacLeod on the importance of confronting a fear of failure. Quoted from his recent book, 9 out of 10 Climbers Make the Same Mistakes.
