Perhaps this is just my own personality flaw; but when I'm by myself, I tend to be very cautious, evaluating every possibility, testing holds and sequences before I commit. Perhaps this behavior is a result of my brain damage; but I tend to get distracted and be less cautious when I'm with other people.

This is a statement that I have never understood, or at least one that has never applied to me. I absolutlely do not want my life to end while climbing, nor would I doing anything else I enjoy. I want to see enjoyable tasks through to completion.
I much more frequently think about the possibility of death when I am laying in the dental chair than when I am having a good time.
