How activity partners recalibrate shared risk tolerance after witnessing serious consequences

My climbing partner and I have been pushing each other to attempt harder routes, but after watching a mutual friend get seriously injured last month, we're both questioning whether we're being appropriately cautious or letting fear kill the thing we love most. Neither of us wants to be the one who suggests backing down, but neither of us wants to be the one who pushes the other into danger.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
