hey there say, ... make sure you ARE on the right route/trail...
(since i am not a climber, i used trail) ... and--
keep in mind what others have already learned from 'the route or trail that you are on' -- and 'work out the situation' as to 'what is going on for
you, at that moment'... and, lastly, use any bad, to work for good, somehow...
thus-- you never regret, and, enhanced your skills, and
can help someone else, later... and-- have good memories, :)
this then-- applies to all you do, in life... and, then--
works both spiritually and physically... :)

when confronted with a perceived impossibility to self, stay calm, try your hardest, and don't get too wrapped up in the eventualities.

Nut Again: I like your posts!
You are thoughtful and meticulous when it comes to unpacking ideas.
My favorite maxim comes from outside of climbing and feeds back into it, because for me, climbing is life, and most of the rest is ... just waiting.
So, in carpentry, the good advice of: measure twice, cut once, is my enduring mantra when on long solo forays into and out of the mountains.
The only "climbing lesson" I can perhaps aptly apply to this particular life is: it ain't over till it's over.

If that is right, I think the greatest climbing lesson must be winning a thread on ST ^^^^

That winter camping pee bottle can later be used to shorten those senior night time trips to the bathroom ;-)

As you age the winter camping pee bottle becomes the anytime camping pee bottle.

Back sh#t up, check your knots, and make sure your rap line goes all the way to the ground.

A painful lesson it took a bit to learn: relationships are not problems or projects to be worked and the tenacity and instinct required to be a good climber can easily misinform in some situations when you should really just walk away.

Bring two windproof lighters. And don’t drop the goddamn stash box from the 4th pitch belay of a 12 pitch route.

Since California traffic brought on your first post:
I’m at the tail end of a drive from SF Bay to LA. Feelin’ pretty tired today... maybe because I slept for about 5 hours and that takes more of a toll in my mid-40s than it did in my 20s or 30s. I’m now smack dab in rush hour as I approach downtown LA. Probably only 15 minutes from home.
You can lower your commute time & stress level & accept living poorer out in the schist-lands outside cities, where we don't often have heavy traffic & traffic-jams looks like this.
