Quote by Jo Nesbo

In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing, it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.

In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... B

Summary

This quote highlights the unique dynamic between the brain and body in the sport of rock climbing. Unlike other sports where the brain and body work in sync, climbing requires overcoming a natural instinct to stay low and safe. The brain's instinctual response is to remain cautious and avoid ascending higher. In this case, it is the responsibility of the climber's brain to convince and persuade the body to make the necessary movements needed to continue climbing upwards.
