Mental training is scarcely covered in the climbing literature, yet it is as important to performance as strength, flexibility and technique.

  • Author: Arno Ilgner
  • Softcover; 144 pages; black-and-white photographs
  • Desiderata Institute; copyright 2003
  • Ilgner draws essential elements form the rich "warrior" literature, as well as from sports psychology and combines these with his extensive experience
  • Here is a comprehensive program for learning how to focus your mental resources during a challenging climb
  • It includes step-by-step guidance on motivation analysis, information gathering, risk assessment, mental focus and deliberate transition into action
  • Poor use of attention creates fear, which can manifest itself in ways that range from performance anxiety to sheer terror
  • By using attention more purposefully we can understand how fear arises, deal with it effectively and free ourselves to get back in touch
  • We can then create an "unbending intention" that produces outstanding performance
  • Learn not only how to improve your performance, but your enjoyment of climbing as well

Made in USA.
