    DESCRIPTION:

    At the heart of the Warrior's Way method is learning how to commit your attention effectively in the moment. Very simply, when you climb, climb, when you rest, rest.

     

    Learning how to separate these two tasks is what the Warrior's Way method is all about. Over the last 10 years, NRMG has worked with Arno Ilgner to develop a curriculum to teach climbers like yourself how to overcome limiting tendencies.

     

    The Warrior's Way method of climbing will train you to stay on task, minimize distractions and commit your attention more effectively so you can climb more deliberately with commitment.

     

    TRAD/MENTAL CAMP
    This course is specifically targeted toward developing a better mental focus for leading trad routes. To accomplish this, we need to develop trust in our gear and jamming ability. We’ll develop this trust by falling on gear, moving continuously when jamming, quick and precise gear placement and improving mental focus through the application of the Warrior’s Way. You’ll leave knowing how to take appropriate risks on trad routes with improved mental focus. 
    You’ll learn to:
    -To place and assess trad protection
    -Trad jamming skills
    -Trust trad gear by falling on it
    -Assessing risks effectively, allowing you to take appropriate risks
    -Improve commitment and mental focus
    -Improve safety awareness
     
     
    What we won’t be covering:
    -Equalizing anchors
    -Multi-pitch transitions
    -Other basic trad skills

    FALL/COMMIT CAMP 

    Being effective in climbing requires us to understand the consequences of our decisions and actions. In climbing the main consequence is falling. By understanding how to fall we diminish the chance of injury and allow us to focus attention effectively on climbing. In this 2-day camp, you will learn how to more effectively deal with falling situations by applying Warrior's Way exercises straight from the pages of the Espresso Lessons.

    -Fall safely

    -Give a dynamic (cushioned) belay

    -Break a climb into smaller risk events

    -Assess risks effectively

    -Distinguish between no- and yes-fall zones

    -Engage no- and yes-fall zones appropriately

    -Make appropriate risk decisions

    -Improve body and mind awareness

    -Rest effectively

    -Improve breathing

    -Create flow and momentum

    -Deal with climbing stress

    -Commit more deliberately

    -Reduce fear
