Staying Committed

Warrior’s Way makes an interesting point here about making a commitment to a climb along with an exercise to practice:

An important skill in climbing is to stay committed. You are pumped, in a yes-fall zone, and below a crux section. Your mind creates a perception that you are too pumped to continue, you believe your mind's perception, which turns into a justification for hanging on the rope and convincing yourself you cannot continue. "Of course I couldn't continue climbing; I was too pumped."
