“The focus that I have for the climb, I have no time for fear of heights.” I know he probably didn’t mean it in a deeper way but that kinda hit me in relation to life. You gotta be so focused on your journey that you have so time for fear of failure and the “what if”s.

[@aurelius8439]

That's really true. Also, when I'm climbing something at my limit and the fear hits, sometimes all it takes is to take a controlled fall to reset. Feel that trust in the gear, adjust the headspace, then shift back into the body and flow through to the send.

[@ibraelgu]

Actually he meant it (also) in a deeper way. When you start climbing, you see life in a different way : when you fall, try to find other ways, either by getting stronger or smarter.... I personally apply my climbing strategies in life too 😊

One of my fav episodes you've ever done. I lost my fiance in 2017 and my father four months after. From that I've gained a fear of driving, heights, flying, among others which i never had before.

But this was a great motivator for me. This year on my 30th birthday I'll be older than my fiance and I want this year to be full of adventures and pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone.

HE WAS SO KIND AND the fact you found comfort in him to help you get through this. I'm so proud of you michelle

[@samb4768]

The fact that she is showing her emotion and the rawness is so rare in these type of videos and it’s so amazing.

[@Miablazes]

“Tension please please for the love of god.” 😂😭the panic in ur voice! You are amazing!

[@jessicaashworth3698]

successfully climbing outdoors in your first week of climbing with an intense fear of heights is extremely impressive. it's not an easy thing to do in general, but with those other factors, it's wild. Amazing, Michelle. You really killed it.

[@HOEZILLA]

My first time rock climbing was probably the most terrifying experience I had ever subjected myself to. Simultaneously-- the reward of completing my very first wall has been one of the most gratifying! I'm by no means a skilled or experienced rock climber-- but i feel like even with my limited experience i could understand that stress and fear throughout the video. How inspiring to break through all of that doubt, and accomplish something you thought to be impossible. ❤

[@smiggee]

Well you did it, not the climb, but facing your fears and most importantly, making (me) a grown a** man cry. LOL Tears of joy that is. You are amazing! I have followed you for a couple years now, but never knew you were a professional cyclist (maybe I overlooked it). Now I see where that natural competitive drive come from. I honestly think this is your best one yet. You went deep within to face the demons of your past. Its a lesson we all can learn from. Continue to live your best life.

[@caroljeeben7064]

I started climbing about two months ago. I think im addicted. It is such a supportive activity. I am SO much better than I was two months ago. I've never been very physically active, or light on my feet. Climbing has given me something to live for. I know that sounds silly, but each time I complete a route that I couldn't before, it's truly a good feeling for myself.

[@jessabalough709]

I also started climbing like 2-3 months ago! I thought it would just be a fun little thing, but I love it. I'm working on V1s and V2s now, as someone who never had any upper body strength it's been awesome to feel strong and accomplished!

[@vanity4718]

The size of the balls on this woman. I could never do half the things she’s done. I wholeheartedly hope that one day I could have the strength and courage that you do!

She overcame her fear i am so happy it’s very inspiring but.... But can we just talk about the cameraman climbing 85ft and coming up and down with a heavy camera and imagine if he drops the camera because he gets scared .

[@ConstructedMedia]

Haha thanks - wild shooting on a wall. I had the camera on a safety rope the whole time, so wouldn't drop it! - Sam

There are photographers that specialize in this, so they themselves are experienced climbers! If you haven’t seen it, check out the movie Free Solo

As I climber I've been wanting this video for so long and it was so nice listening to an instructor teach her cause I got stuff out of it too.

[@idamariedaljord8441]

I simply can’t believe how strong Michelle is both physically and mentally. It’s crazy how determined she is. It is absolutely insane how much you can conquer Michelle. We are all so proud of you ❤️

[@scottkendrix6231]

I came across your channel by accident, and I'm so glad I did. Seeing you face all these challenges, overcome obstacles and fears, and push yourself past what you think you can do is a huge inspiration. Our fears are the biggest obstacle stopping us from accomplishing anything we want, and you constantly push past yours and strive to improve yourself mentally and physically. Much respect to you.

You really need an actual show on TV, Netflix, something because your videos are amazing. And you are truly amazing for the way you show the raw stuff, like being vulnerable and crying and showing you were scared, most people would cut those parts out, but I love that you leave them in !
