I am a little confused as to the premise of the study. We, as climbers, certainly have the same makeup of the rest of the population when it comes to mental/emotional traumas and whatnot. So, what is it that makes you assume that we have better coping mechanisms than the rest of society? Being able to hoist yer ass up a rock doesn't mean you've learned how to succeed in relationships, grow as an individual, or become more sympathetic to others any more than if you had never climbed at all. I don't get it.
