Failure may well have been the motivation for me to tick my Project at Gello this morning. I am very pleased. It went relatively painlessly 2nd shot. i bolted it over a year ago and orginally dismissed it as no good and to hard. Thankfully a fresh set of Tips and some help with a bit of Beta off Jesse and Willis one barmy spring afternoon last year help me to realise that it was a worthy project. Its probably the hardest First Ascent for me to date which has been a great challenge. As KP says rearding not falling off a route:
“the fear of failure outweighs the fear of falling”
I think i get what he means????
