What skill don’t you feel confident with?

[Darren Edwards]

On hikes I’ve led, some group members don’t have a lot of confidence with rock scrambling or boulder hopping. What skill is your nemesis?

I never felt ok about near vertical rock scrambling. A mate took me rock climbing and I’ve never looked back

Agree totally. Even if you don’t get passionate about rock climbing, it gives your a heap of confidence for hiking.

I’n not great walking narrow ledges where there is a steep drop off. I’m not usually afraid of heights but for some reason it freaks me out.

You are certainly not alone there. Having a healthy level of fear is good.

I certainly have a fear. Doesn’t feel healthy at the time 🙂

I’m also not great with map and compass but try to work on it on most hikes. I use a phone app mostly but want a reliable backup plan.
