Clinic description: The Warrior's Way® teaches how to focus attention during the climbing process, especially when you’re full of doubt and under stress. By focusing this way you improve your commitment and climb more deliberately.
You’ll learn to:
* Be more self aware
* Assess risks
* Practice falling in small increments
* Set intentions and commit deliberately
* Trust in the process
* Deal with climbing stress/chaos
* Improve problem-solving skills
* Reduce fear, and more
Content of the class
* We’ll do exercises on moderately difficult toprope routes, some falling practice, and a challenging route on lead or slack toprope (depending on your leading experience).
* We’ll begin by learning how to break a climb into decision points.
* Next, we’ll develop awareness of our mental chatter.
* Next, we’ll practice falling.
* Next, we’ll work on commitment and breathing.
* Finally, we learn how to prepare and commit at each decision point.
Requirement for class:
* It’s helpful if you’ve read the The Rock Warrior’s Way book, but it isn’t absolutely necessary. You can email me (arno@warriorsway.com) for a pdf handout to become familiar with the Warrior’s Way®.
* The clinic seems to be best for those who have hit a plateau, experience frustration, fear, loss of motivation, or other mental fitness issues.
* You do need to know the fundamentals of knots, belaying, and basic climbing skills.
Equipment Needed:
* Harness, shoes, belay device, and a helmet (if you have one). The gym will provide lead ropes and helmets.
