Here via rydra_wong. This idea is relevant to my interests. Commensurate with the limitations one imposes on oneself by focusing on judgement, failure & insecurity, there are the limitations imposed by others - teachers, coaches, senior participants, who undermine or outright prevent participation--and thus growth-- by people who don't come to their first experiences already successful. I don't climb (yet?), but I did take up yoga for a social "sport" (to complement my solitary running & cycling & weight training) where everyone is permitted an encouraged to engage at their own level without competition or judgment. the more I hear about climbing, the more it appeals.
