Desensitizing yourself to falling...	29-Jun-2006 At 12:03:56 PM	Stuey

Personally I would start falling indoors/out doors on the bolts. Start small and work up to bigger and bigger falls. If you can't summon up the courage to go much above the bolt get your belayer to give you some slack. However, it doesn't really sound like your problem is falling on gear, its trusting the placements you are made so that you aren't afraid to fall on them-This comes from experience. Just do alot of easy trad, place a lot of gear, do a bit of aiding and bounce test the placements, get someome more experienced in trad than you to 'rate' the placements you make. Then you will a bit a better judge of the placements you have made and your confidence on falling on them will rise.
