A Matter Of Trust

Climbing and falling are inevitably related. Falling and trust, I find, are also intimately linked in the same way.

With faith, you can climb.

With trust, you can fall. And know that you'll climb back up again.

It doesn't matter if it's a crimper/sloper deadpoint just 3 panels off the ground or a lateral throw to a juggy ledge 15 panels up. If you can't trust your belayer, you're already half-way to falling.

Life seems to hold a similar truth in many other things too -- without belief in your foundation you're likely not to get far, but without a trust in life, you're even more likely not to live at all.

Your belayer makes a big difference when you're up. Your mind does the rest.
