| | | Reading Moses Gates's "Hidden Cities," I thought this was apt: We come to a building covered in scaffolding, which Steve starts climbing up without even pausing to look around for cops. I don't really want to follow, mostly because I'm pretty drunk, but I feel obligated. So I start up the scaffolding. And it's wonderful. Everything is easy. There's no freezing, no nervousness affecting me physically. It turns out there really is something to the expression "Dutch courage." I can't imagine why I haven't done this before. Climbing while inebriated is something I really shouldn't recommend, but I will anyway. Now, I'm not talking about drunkenly trying to scale a rock wall at Yosemite or anything, but in those instances when the mental barriers are significantly greater than the physical barriers, the combination of booze and adrenaline can be magic. The mental barriers are washed away, while the physical barriers are still a long way away from being truly tested. (p. 79)
