give it a few more years in game and i'm sure (and you probably already do have some) you'll have your
own stories of scary s**t that you've seen or even done yourself. You can definitely work past the
reccommended practises of what other people might call death, but can you do it safely? not IMO.

I'm often more scared bouldering then i am when on a rope. hell just look at the accidents that have
happened (multile broken legs/ankles) at TCE in the past few years in the bouldering caves!
