What is your go-to survival tactic in the face of unexpected challenges on a climb?

Question

Rob Pizem · Answer

What is my go-to survival tactic in the face of an unexpected challenge on a climb? I guess my go-to thing is to remain calm, assess the situation, come up with my plan, and then act. And if that plan is to retreat, then that plan is to retreat. I go back down, I don't sweat it. If that plan is to act, I go ahead and act doing what I need to do in the safest possible way, and I commit to it wholeheartedly. So I guess remain calm, relax for a moment, evaluate the situation, come up with my plan, and then execute it, and not doubt it.
