Fear of death manifests as anxiety over uncontrollable scenarios like accidents and illness. This anxiety contrasts with a sense of peace experienced while free solo climbing skyscrapers. The minutes before climbing are marked by intense fear and physical symptoms. Despite feeling terror before ascent, the climber achieves a state of relaxation during ascension, finding solace in the risk, which reflects a profound paradox of living with anxiety while embracing dangerous activities.
Walking in Paris terrifies me, with thoughts of uncontrollable death scenarios consuming my mind, while I paradoxically feel at peace climbing skyscrapers.
Before a climb, I experience intense anxiety, with my body reacting strongly: I get cottonmouth, weak knees, and a frantic mental state that I must push through.
