YEP
I have actualy heard this ( or something akin) or read it somewhere before...prolly here
bull shit... enlightenment means leaving the rope in the car.
enlightenment my dear young friend is a personal journey... it is best to not judge anothers enlightenment, and keep yer eyes on yer own... otherwise you lose track and fall flat on yer face.
learning to face what you fear most is a GOOD thing. If what you fear most is climbing with out rope and pro... then maybe that is what you need to consider. If what you fear most is not impressing someone with your accomplishements, then perhaps it is time to rethink why it is you climb and what is most important to you.
GO CLIMB! HAVE FUN! ENJOY LIFE! IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL
