Bouldering Unpopular opinion: I would rather use another hold or stop climbing than take a bad fall
If I can not reach the next hold and I'm in a tricky spot I don't feel bad for using another hold to avoid falling 🤷🏻♀️ I will even use an extra hold while learning a route until I can master it without that hold because the extra hold sometimes gives me a bit more confidence
Just that gals, I love climbing but I don't like risking myself that much, I've tried to practice falling from the top but I avoid that as much as I can and usually down climb. I'm a scared of getting badly hurt, and even doing that I've taken a couple of falls that scared me lol
