What moment stands out as a supremely scary climbing moment for you? What did you learn from it? Is it when your mum said she thought climbing might be a good activity to take up? or is it when you descovered that climbing through a hard section with no gear doesn't always result in a rest or good gear. For me, one moment was when my partner suggested we should do 400m of steep alpine rock solo in order to avoid an easy 50m snow gully descent and wander over a glacier to our objective on the other side. Lesson - even when your partner looks strong, he can be making decisions with porrige between his ears when at altitude.
