This year, I stayed at the same level as I had last year but tried new challenges. The result was a fun and un-regretted experience. The belayer encouraged me to try a wall that looked daunting but insisted that I do it and showed me the starting position and ways to use the two walls (it was in the corner). That wall was a 5.10a and was the best wall I climbed because of the strange positions and the need to strategise. The highest level I climbed was 5.10b which was the same level I reached last year, but this wall had a overhang and was definitely challenging.
I developed being a risk-taker by trying something that looked challenging but ended up being worth it. Without the belayer's encouragement, I probably wouldn't have tried as many new walls.
