WHAT IS THE WARRIOR'S WAY?

At the heart of The Warrior's Way® method is learning how to commit your attention effectively in the moment and on the task. There are many tasks in climbing, but when you boil it down there are simply two: climbing and resting. Learning how to separate these two tasks is what The Warrior's Way® method is all about.

 

Over the last 15 years, NRMG has worked with The Warrior's Way® founder, Arno Ilgner, who has developed a curriculum to teach climbers like yourself how to overcome their fears. 

​

FALLING & COMMITMENT OUTDOOR SPORT 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 commit to climbing, deal with falling, and take appropriate risks.

 

You'll learn to:

-Fall safely

-Give a dynamic (cushioned) belay

-Break a climb into smaller risk events
