    Take into account that Alex Honnold backed out of his first attempt at Free Soloing El Capitan in Yosemite because he knew the conditions weren't right and did it another day. If a badass professional climber is putting his safety first (even if he's crazy enough to do something like a free solo) then you shouldn't feel bad about a mental block.

    One of my fav episodes you've ever done. I lost my fiance in 2017 and my father four months after. From that I've gained a fear of driving, heights, flying, among others which i never had before. Yes that comes with getting older and no longer having the fearlessness we had as kids, but its largely due to the pain of the loss and seeing how it affected his parents.I have a fear of anything happening and putting my mother through the same thing.
    But this was a great motivator for me. This year on my 30th birthday I'll be older than my fiance and I want this year to be full of adventures and pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone. Love you Michelle, you have 😊been such a big part of my life since the og buzzfeed days

    I have practice pretty much every sports in my short life and when I started rockclimbing I realized how important encouragements and trust from your partnes is. Your ego really is your worst enemy in rockclimbing. Good job Michelle, being afraid of heights myself I totally get where you're coming from 🙌

    For those who watch this and want to get into climbing, awesome!!! As a climbing instructor who has seen some sketchy stuff done by climbers who didn't know better, please reach out to an instructor at a reputable gym like she did. Be patient, take classes, stay humble, constantly learn, and you'll have some amazing adventures while staying perfectly safe! Also, get involved with the local community and learn the etiquette, standards, grades, and sustainable practices for your area.
