Thanks, I'll definitely try to keep that in mind for when I go rock climbing next week.
We have the oppurtunity to jump off the wall. Does anyone have any experience with that and is it as scary as it looks?
No worries
What do you mean by "jumping off the wall"? Like abseiling?
First time I went abseiling it was a bit intimidating and I tripped over backwards off the cliff face (this was outdoors) but I was fine
If you're dealing with overhangs just make sure you lower yourself down enough so your head won't crash into the wall/face (you won't die or anything if it does but I tend to prefer not whacking my head into things ahaha). Remember that
even if you screw up anything you have your belayer there as a safety net
The scariest part of most things is starting & that's certainly true for many people when it comes to stuff involving heights.
