Beat the Pioneers to Fear Psychology

There is no doubt that it is not easy to be a full-fledged On-sight leader. Deep-rooted fears and unpleasant crashes often make you unable to progress. Of course, to achieve the realm mentioned at the beginning of the article can be divided into several stages: from Leading on simple routes to Red-point on difficult routes, you can finally try On-sight routes that are just beyond your limits or limits. (Note: On-sight refers to the first climb of the line to climb; Red-point means that after climbing n times, it can climb.)

Pioneer needs stronger psychological quality
There are many reasons to support you as a persistent pioneer climber. The first is that Leading allows you to more directly recognize the limits of your strengths and skills. Unlike Top-rope, Leading needs a stronger psychological quality because fears and dangers of falling are incomparable to Top-rope; moreover, fear can make your power drain faster. In addition, crawling too many Top-ropes will allow you to develop some bad habits. Because you don't have much psychological pressure and try to move indiscriminately, Leading requires more skillful, precise, and thinking balance, and the spirit is High concentration allows you to achieve a higher level of climbing.

In addition to this, I would like to say some reasons outside the topic. Like rock friends who like to take pictures, Leading will look even cooler and more sturdy; it will not be like Top-rope, where the rope and the face will coincide and destroy the scenery.
When you first started learning to climb, choose the route that Top-rope can't fall, feel Leading's rhythm, and learn to control mental tension and fear.

Learn to fall under safe conditions
The most effective way to overcome the fear of falling is to try to fall. Of course, it means that trying to find a good coach in an artificial rock hall and various safety measures is a very important task.

In addition, try to persuade yourself to remove unnecessary fear reasons, such as ropes, hanging pieces will not break, and so on. Learn to control your breathing while climbing. When you encounter difficulties, the physiological changes such as rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing are normal. Proper breathing at this time can help you stabilize your emotions, calm your mind a little, and think more effectively about trying the next move.

Rest assured to ensure that the pioneer will do more with less
Finding a good, sure-to-assurance person is also a good way to overcome the vanguard's fear of climbing, because the sure ass can provide you with different, objective information when you are climbing (such as fast hanging, rope tied around your legs, etc.) Etc) will help you to pass the difficulties smoothly, reduce the chances of falling and danger, and react to your safety when you fall. Don't just find someone to be your surety unless you have Solo's intentions. In line: a good climber is easy to find, and it is difficult to find a good one. Visible, the importance of ensuring the person.

Top-rope can't satisfy your enthusiasm for rock climbing. It doesn't allow you to try your true limits, both in terms of strength and psychology; nor can it make rock climbing truly known as extreme sports. Don't be afraid of falling, but don't belittle it. Be bold and try Pioneer, surprise yourself, surprise others, and life will never be more real than that moment.
