Thats true ,but it also works in other ways too . I mean the Sydney sea cliffs . Claw doesnt quite 'get ' why other people don't ' get ' the Sydey sea cliffs . He expounds a couple of theories that I tend to agree with , but I reakon there's more to it ... one climb : THE FEAR (17) ...People tend to think like aw yeah 17 peica piss I can do that , but then they look into the void of human horror and just cant 'get ' lurching out on sandy jugs above some mind-boggling abyss above the deep blue sea . the tendency then is to associate that one climb with ALL climbs at the Sydney sea cliffs ... A bit like this

association keeps me from going beyond knee deep into the water at the beach ...
If THATS what a grade 17 at the Sydney sea cliffs is all about then what are the 18s , 19s,20s,21s22s etc like ???????????????? plus the fact that many people have used those same cliffs to leap into the void forever ...
