The Rock Warrior’s Way is the mental training guide for climbers. It is a comprehensive program for learning how to focus your mental resources during a challenging climb. It includes step-by-step guidance on motivation analysis, information gathering, risk assessment, mental focus, and deliberate transition into action. Mental training is scarcely covered in the climbing literature, yet it is as important to performance as strength, flexibility, and technique. The author Arno Ilgner draws essential elements from the rich 'warrior' literature, as well as from sports psychology, and combines these with his extensive climbing experience to create The Rock Warriors Way – the unique approach to mental training. Originally written in 2006, this is the second edition and it includes many illustrations. Number of pages is 144. Size is 152mm x 224mm.
