You just get really freaking scared over and over for so long and eventually it's not that scary anymore.
But I will say that that's like a very enduring way to overcome your fear.
It's like if you're willing to go through that process,
Then you are actually unafraid, you know, because like you can do like hacks.
I mean, you can you like crank up loud rock music and just go for it, you know, like and there are plenty of examples of that.
And in what I'd call gravity assisted sports, like say if you're going to jump a cliff on skis, like you can get to the edge and be like, this is really scary.
And then be like, three, two, one, do it and just like go.
In climbing, you can't really do that as much because it's so slow.
Like when you climb, you make one move and then you make another move.
And then you're like, do I still want to be here?
Like it basically fear creeps in a lot more.
But sort of in gravity assisted sports, you can have more of that moment where you just like overcome your fear and then it happens.
You know, like making a big drop in a kayak or like skis or things like that.
Whereas like once you commit, it's happening one way or another.
Anyway, there's a lot to get into it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, so that video is actually filmed later.
So the voiceover in that video is me talking about the experience of me freestyling when I was totally alone.
And I did get really scared on Half Dome and I had this whole somewhat traumatic climbing experience near the top of the wall.
