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: • Become aware of your mind’s limiting tendencies • Use your mind’s intelligence to do effective risk-assessment • Distinguish between no-fall and yes-fall zones • Make appropriate risk decisions • Practice falling in small increments • Give a cushioned belay • Engage your body to develop flow and momentum • Deal with climbing stress • Improve problem-solving skills • Reduce fear, and more - Content of the class We’ll do awareness, movement, breathing, and resting exercises on moderate routes. Then some falling practice. We'll finish with a challenging route to apply what we’ve learned. - Prerequisites for clinic: • It’s helpful if you’ve read The Rock Warrior’s Way or Espresso Lessons, but it isn’t absolutely necessary. • 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. • You DO NOT need to be able to lead to take the clinic. - Equipment Needed: • Harness, shoes, belay device, and a helmet (if you want to wear one). The gym usually provides lead ropes and sometimes helmets. - When / Where: Sept 7, Stone Summit, Atlanta, GA 678-720-9882 Sept 8, Atlanta Rocks, Atlanta, GA 770-242-7625 Sept 9, Vertical Ventures, Tampa, FL 813-884-7625 Sept 10 & 11, X-treme, Miami, FL 305-233-6623 - Investment: $79 for non-members; $69 for gym members Max number: 8 / clinic - Instructors: Elaina Smith and Arno Ilgner - LIMITED OPPORTUNITY: This is the only time this year to take advantage of this training.
