Sometimes pple mix up crazy/daring and athletic and it's funny cause those 2 don't necessarily overlap
Ex: if ya can take a step forward, ya can jump off a bridge. Very little physical fitness required
If ya can climb a 5b, ya can do it solo
If ya can jump over 1m wide puddle, ya can jump over a 1m gap between buildings
It's a matter of having the metaphorical balls to go through with it
Observations from smb who was always expected to get the best results at PE and never did. Walking on metal beams 1.5-2m off the ground doesn't make one fit or fast... it just means the blorbo got bored
#Tbf I very rarely jump from place to place cause I'm bad at it#Like I can jump 1.5m but that's it#So usually if it's too wide to step over a gap - I find some other way to get there#So 1m is pretty accurate#And like#It was always always like that#Yes I have climbed trees and skipped steps as a kid#Kid me wasn't a good runner or jumper and was generally slightly below average in physical fitness#Which surprised both my classmates and the pe teach#Daring is not the same as athletic#But being both means there is more things ya can do safely#As in ya can't jump over 2m gaps in buildings if ya can't do it on the floor#Not a matter of daring just not possible physically#And yeah I have gone solo on some 5s outdoors bc didn't have the gear or a partner for belaying#And sht seemed like it had a good view from the top or smth#Anyway. Athletism just adds extra safety and minimises the risks#Oh the mem with 2 dudes with equal strength but one of them is feral#This
