It's one thing to learn about how your fear shapes your outdoor experiences. You start to see how it interrupts your flow and learn to engage with it in a healthy way - It's another thing entirely to get comfortable enough with others to help them engage with their fear. As climbers, we're generally always interacting with others during our own testing moments. We have a chat with Alex and Ryan, two climbers from the SE QLD scene who have done a good deal of adventure climbing together, and reflect on how to lean into someone else's fear and be a good friend.
