Clinic Description: 

How do you react when you are pumped and doubting your ability to commit to the next several moves? Many climbers lose commitment and won’t make the moves because they overthink when climbing. 

To stay committed, you need to stop at rest stances and think through the risk. Then you need to make an appropriate risk decision (can I fall here or can I not fall here?) and commit completely to taking action on that decision. 

That is the emphasis of this Falling & Commitment clinic. This5.5 hours mental training course helps you figure out where you can and can’t fall; how to keep from pumping out just before you reach the anchors; and makes climbing more relaxed when on the sharp end. 

Your Warrior’s Way trainer teaches skills and techniques which apply to all climbing grade levels. As wanted, the trainer can teach climbers who climb grades 20 and higher, techniques and mindsets for those climbing in this ability range.

Clinic ratio, 1:6. Clinic will only run if all spots are filled.

What Students Will Learn:

• Become aware of your mind’s limiting tendencies (like thinking you’ll clip the anchors) 

• Distinguish between no-fall and yes-fall zones 

• Rest efficiently to avoid the pump 

• Develop flow and momentum to make climbing easier 

• Deal with mental stress before, during, and after the climb 

• Improve problem-solving skills for better route finding and beta sequences
