Got lead certified recently, but I pretty much drop a grade when climbing lead - I’m not as confident and I overgrip.

I’ve done lead falls, I know how to do 'em well, and yet… as someone who’s done top rope for many years, it’s scary not feeling the tension (however small) of a rope pulling your harness up.

    oof doing a fall right before the next clip is scary… but i suppose that’s the point haha. I’ll try that next time, thank you!

      Definitely. I think the trick is to slowly build up to it!
