We thought we'd kick things off with a short story from each of them about when they'd got most scared - yup, they're definitely not immune to it! From there, they both delve into some of their tips to improve as a trad climber, what things you can put into place to help your onsighting and what they do and recommend for staying calm under pressure. Last one - and it's one that comes up frequently - is how you deal with the dreaded resting ledge. Can you leave, should you leave, when to leave?! What’s the most scared you’ve ever been while climbing? Top tips for beginner trad climbers Tips for dealing with the pressure of on-sighting Staying calm under pressure How to prepare to leave a rest on a route https://youtu.be/Iw9At\_UxdAc
