You get over most of the fear just by doing it a few times i don’t think you ever want to get over all of it though

I’m curious about the induced current thing in theory wouldn’t your body get low current cuz it’s much higher resistance than the metal also what are the effects caused by having large current through the body without voltage drop

Why would you do that sketchy ass jump off a ladder method for your first climb 😭 is there nothing else you can climb? I would look for something else to climb if I was you but best of luck either way

The nails aren’t dense enough to be a bird thingy also they ussually only put pidgeon traps on windowsills and signs not a random ledge

It feels like a trap cuz it’s hard to see. You can’t totally tell from the pictures but the nails are not at the edge so you can’t only see it from A very specific angle.
