Belief is everything.

But does she knows she still has to climb down 
General Schwarkopf was asked the question "Are your men afraid". His response was "A soldier who isn't afraid is a soldier in danger". This lady is amazing not only with her climbing abilities but her belief in herself. What a way to find solace..

Conrad73: Belief,or is it certainty of one's Ability?
Isn't having certainty of one's ability the same as belief in one's ability?
As she said in the video, to have any doubts would most likely lead to failure. So to have no doubts in your ability and your capability is to fully believe in yourself and reach your goals.
Most would not go to such extremes to reach their goals though...

When you climbed Bode, didn't you get to a spot on the mountain where you thought....I wonder if I can get to a certain point. Don't you have to question your abilities at some point if you've never done something. She had climbed the mountain before so she knew what was ahead of her but I would still think she has to question her skill at some point in a climb like that. To think she can do anything takes her off guard. Just my quirky opinion..

Yes many times, but that was more to do with how I was feeling on the day and how close the route was graded to my limit. But of course on such routes, even when leading, I would have a degree of protection from my ropes and a competent second.
However, whenever I was soloing on harder routes I had to know the climb well, but more important, I had to feel totally confident without any doubt in my ability to tackle the climb.
It's something that applies to many things in life, to take on something without any doubts in your mind will more than likely lead to a successful outcome.

You certainly do...about 20% of the mountains in the Alps are in Switzerland.
Maybe you should move to Holland.

If I was a climber....first of all, if I was healthy and had lived a life of climbing, the first thing on my bucket list would be to climb Mt. Everest. That mountain fasinates me. I saw a story about a man who climbed it with two prostetic legs. I can't imagine anyone having that kind of dedication to accomplish something. For now, I'm going to go down to the basement to do laundry and then I'll climb the stairs back up. It's not that easy when you've got two bum knees and one bum foot. But don't worry about me, 
I'll get there...

That would be Mark Inglis.
One of the biggest dangers when high altitude climbing is frostbite. So to some degree Mark was at an advantage as his body heat would be better retained, and of course...no frostbitten toes.

I plucked up the courage to watch this one .....
As the lady says, the fear is the danger, doubts create fear.
An amazing ability ..... but I'm with Conrad on this one, watching through a telescope from the hotel verandah, sipping brandy and smoking Gauloises. Like in that Bond movie, or was it the Eiger Sanction...
Anyway,
Q.... what is it like coming down ? Much more difficult and dangerous I would expect, is that right ?

She wouldn't be able to down climb that route, there would be an easier way off the mountain.
If you notice in the first part of the video she had a rope trailing behind her. That is because she was climbing a tower with no easy way off and the rope would have been used to abseil (rappel) off.

And developing self-confidence is absolutely necessary for not only success, but survival. (Yes, I'm serious). There are so many important things in life that can't be second-guessed...but hey, that could take volumes!------ This thread is Archived ------

Would certainly cause a rash (from peeing my pants)
