I remind myself (when gripped) that I came here to climb, not to fall. Usually I start worrying about pro when the climbing gets hard, when (logically) I should concentrate on the climbing. I try to remember to place (good) pro when I'm comfortable with the climbing, so that when it gets tough I can focus on the moves...
I have found an increased chance of falling is associated with panicking about (maybe) falling, and trying to (desperately) place pro in this state. |
