climbing as anti-anxiety prescription 27-Jan-2011 At 2:47:56 PM Godless

This belongs with that research in another thread that rats who survive danger when young are more wary later. That's called wisdom. As in the quote "You live and learn or you don't live long."

I don't think the positive effects of rockclimbing are as simple as the corporate "brave in one area of your life, you realise you can be brave in other areas too", I see it as a more Heideggerean (no idea how to spell that) concept of feeling fear makes you know your alive. Dasein. Don't know how that applies to gym bunnies or mattress backs.

And hell, what do I know, I've been climbing a long time an I'm as neurotic as a zit infested teenager.
