Develop mental strength to enjoy rock climbing  (and life) more often.

Short of breath after the last 4 feet of climbing on small and awkward holds, you finally clip your quickdraw just above your head while on an ok rest stance. But this next section is what has you nervous.  The moves are within your ability (you think) but there is no rest till the next stance, which is where the next quickdraw is, 3 meters up.  Your friends yell, “just do it! You got this!” You feel less certain. Can you make the moves to the next stance without pumping out? What if you miss the clip and fall?  Being scared, uncertain, or a nervous wreck is common but rock climbing doesn’t need to be that way. The Warriors Way® Programme is designed to help you overcome all of these challenges. 

Climbing Made Confidence

Or maybe you’re confident in your climbing but you:

• always fall a move or two before the anchor
• secretly never push your comfort level
• wear headphones during a comp to attempt keep nerves away.

Climbing is hard. That’s why many of us love it and find it so frustrating. We feel the same. But our trainers and students use The Warrior’s Way process to engage fears, frustrations, and nerves. They climb to the next stance, to the top of the climb to ‘send the route feeling in control and confident.

“The Warrior's Way® is an invaluable guide for anyone sincerely looking to have a breakthrough in their approach to climbing”  Chris Sharma

Climbing Training with Intention

You’ve heard “just take practice falls” or “ Do it! You got this!” or “just breathe” while your legs are shaking like Elvis. Well meaning advice but as we’ve heard, and you know, the advice is not actually helpful.

The Warrior’s Way® process will help you because it is:

• built on 20+ years of feedback
• proven to create results for bouldering, sport climbs, trad climbs, and comps.
• for elite climbers like Nina Williams, Chris Sharma, Alex Honnold
• for climbing competitors to those in an office.

Each Warrior’s Way® course focuses on easy and specific incremental steps to do before, during, and after each climb. Specific exercises like “Catch and Release,” “Follow Your Eyes,” or “Continuous Climbing” help you control your mind, your attention, and keep the body relaxed (which influences brain chemistry).  Trainers support you with individual feedback and listen to what you need and your concerns. Feel more confident, climb better, and enjoy the climbing more with the Warrior’s Way mental training.

Our Mental Training is For…

The Everyday Climber

You arrive, fairly pumped, at a clipping stance on a sport climb. You’re ten feet out from your last bolt and very anxious to get clipped in. You’re tense, over-gripping, and out of balance. Gritting your teeth, close to falling, you finally make the clip—and instantly relax. Immediately you find another good handhold within reach but now you wonder if the struggle to clips means you should give up.

The Climbing Competitor

Or, perhaps you’re a competitor and feel confident in your climbing, aren’t afraid of falling, but get frustrated, disillusioned, and discouraged when you fail. You can’t seem to make progress on your project or experience performance anxiety in comps. You’d do anything to get back in contact with how fun climbing used to be. 

The situations above describe a life not fully lived. Whether you’re a beginner or professional climber, you want to find a way to move beyond fear and anxiety so you can flow.

The Warrior’s Way ® is the oldest mental training program for rock climbing.

• reclaim and build your mental power
• practical tools to face your fear
• power-up your attention so you can flow on the rock and in life.

The Warrior’s Way ® mental training program was tested and refined in the medium of rock climbing. We continue to use rock climbing to teach these lessons. 

We offer Falling and Commitment Workshops: Indoor Clinic, Outdoor Camps & Trad Camps
