Are climbers Egotistical?

My Ego
A reality check!!! I was doing battle with this component of my feeble structure at a point in time, when i decided to seek advice from a sage like friend in NATI! "You don't climb with the intention hurting yourself." "So climb on good gear." It would seem to me that, good gear, has a variety of meanings to climbers as a group. e.g. " I would have used a nut in that situation................." "Get the idea." Thus the individual decoding this advice is faced with either feeling put down or supported! Only the individual in the drivers seat really knows what decision making processes he or she goes through in real time when the fight or flight response is kicking in, and when one's fate is in question.

The Ego and the Super Ego.
For a little bit of bed time reading for you deep thinking broad minded individuals out their, try the following link. Riveting stuff.

Now back to watching Catch-22 ;-) "Eyes on the road Rhonda!"
