The definitive resource to brain-training for climbing--by an
internationally recognized expert As physical as climbing is, it is
even more mental. Ultimately, people climb with their minds--hands
and feet are merely extensions of their thoughts and will. Becoming
a master climber requires that you first master your mind. In
"Maximum Climbing," America's best-selling author on climbing
performance presents a climber's guide to the software of the
brain--one that will prove invaluable whether one's preference is
bouldering, sport climbing, traditional climbing, alpine climbing,
or mountaineering. Eric Horst brings unprecedented clarity to the
many cognitive and neurophysical aspects of climbing and dovetails
this information into a complete program, setting forth three
stages of mental training that correspond to beginner,
intermediate, and elite levels of experience and commitment--the
ideal template to build upon to personalize one's goals through
years of climbing to come.
