Oh, I never got used to it with Bouldering. I was always downclimbing and taking fewer risks as I got higher (getting on a rope after spending several months bouldering I found I was better than I thought I was because I was less nervous about taking risks).
I actually got really proud when I started falling off the bouldering wall - both because it was teaching me that it would be okay to do so, and because it means I was getting brave enough to take more risks (I'm very torn between rope-climbing and bouldering, honestly, as there's aspects of both I like, but I have difficulty finding people to climb with, so I tend toward bouldering when I don't need to find someone and arrange around their schedule)
