I get scared about climbing them.
Instead I just walk up to the bottom and back off.
I repeat this again and again.
Until one day I break the mountain up into small chunks
and climb each chunk until I reach the top.
Then feeling accomplished, I can go down slowly.
Feeling the confidence within me.
Confidence that will allow me to scale the next ones before me.
