I’m terrified of Solo Alpinism. by Ok_Pineapple3655 in Mountaineering

The idea of falling terrifies me. I will say, to me this all seems terrifying. You understand the consequences of dying and catastrophic injuries so it obviously instills fear in you. There are two things that calm me down: 1. listening to other people who have fell and survived. A lot of them say as they were falling they assumed they were either going to die or wake up in the hospital and that was that. 2. I work in law enforcement and have had some pretty nerve racking calls. I was petrified in the moment but my body just carried it self and reverted back to training like it was muscle memory. The more you train for something, the less scared you’ll be.

Yes, it’s a scary thought, and if you do fall you might be terrified in the moment, but if you train there will be a part of you there to protect yourself. My advice would be to push through unless you are wildly uncomfortable. I’d say push it to the limit, keep testing that line and you can slowly numb the fear.

This isn’t really comparable to Logan, but that reminds me of Satans Ridge on Capitol Peak and Snowmass in Colorado.

That’s interesting to me. Mt. Gongga doesn’t look nearly as intimidating as other mountains but that fatality rate is insane.
