I am just now being able to go check out new lines. However, I notice that I like to climb to the first bolt and ensure the system is working (meaning I never onsight). But if this is what makes me feel comfortable.. I should do it.<br><br>Thank you for putting up this comment as many points resonate with me.

So far it has been pretty comfortable to climb on routes that I have done before and terrifying to go to places I have not been on. I am finding that just climbing again is hard enough (mentally and physically) and the uncertainty of the unknown is too much. So, for me that tip is ringing true. I am still tempted to quit climbing (in spite of my entire life being oriented around it) and I find myself wondering why I am replacing gear lost/destroyed in the accident. But, I hope that I will find joy in climbing again. Hi-
