Climbing techniques – a plan to raise your game: Week 10 – Improving your mental strength

Hi everyone. Sincere apologies for the delay in writing this post. Christmas and my recent snowboarding trip kind of got in the way. I have to admit that I have done very little climbing over the last few weeks. I’m looking forward to getting back out there as soon as possible. I managed to get a session at my local climbing wall on Friday and climbed surprising well considering I had only managed one previous session since before Christmas.

In this post I’m going to focus on the mental aspects of rock climbing. I’m going to split those into 2 distinct areas:

* Managing stress / fear
* Motivation & focus for performance
