I know personally my body has (seemingly) felt fear independent of my mind, and I have heard other drivers talk about this too. Typically this happens when you (think you) know you can execute a corner flat out, yet your foot lifts off the throttle just a bit all by itself; is one example that springs to mind.
I wonder how climbers overcome this?

The difference with what you describe is that you have a time pressure - you're being passively carried into the state where you're afraid and reactions etc come in real time. Specifically when doing free solo stuff - I have time to "override" my responses if that makes sense? It takes conscious effort but I am moving at my own pace, I can rest, take a deep breath, etc.
