biggest fear when you was a young climber?

[Big 'Ammer]

Trusting the boss that dead elm is in fact quite strong!

[atree]

yeah i use a french prussic(i think it is) doesnt alway grip the rope when i put my weight into it(if that makes sense)

[Rentachimp]

I always trusted the gear, apart from when the krab gets caught on the edge of the maillon nut and then settles with a click and drops you about an inch. still scary.

 

I have always been paranoid about burning my blakes out when descending.

one of my first trees was leaning over a green house oviously the fear or destroying it and spikes slipping, the worst is the karibiner dropping a bit oh and no ariel rescue.

[Thurkers]

I had an irrational fear of swinging when climbing a tree against the lean. I was fine up the tree but not at the bottom.

[Bob Rolfe]

for me it was cutting my rope or forgetting to tight my screwgate

[MattyF]

snatching out tops and being flung off the spar or it breaking! still gets me now some times on dodgey trees!

[Old Monkey]

Not being able to stay on top of a leaning pole.
