Workshop: Mental Training & Fear of Falling
You’re leading independently outdoors and have some experience with falls and dynamic belaying? Or ideally you’ve already completed our Dynamic Belaying workshop? Now you want to work on your fear of falling? This is about using targeted methods to develop a ‘strong mindset’ and focus while climbing – finding out how to push to your fall limit without feeling overwhelmed. We want to reach a state where we’re climbing ‘in the flow’ and, even when it gets hard and we approach the fall limit, we stay calm and concentrate on the climbing. We recommend combining this workshop with the Dynamic Belaying & Falling workshop, which covers the technical prerequisites – these always take place on the same weekend and booking both gets you 20% off one of them.
What to expect?
We head out with 3–8 participants for a full day (8 hours) at the crag, where the focus is mainly on how we can climb ‘without fear’ and push our limits without feeling overwhelmed. We’ll give you strategies and exercises to take away – and of course we’ll try them out too – to equip you with all the tools you need to experience the rock with confidence, focus, calm, freedom from fear and genuine enjoyment.
Course goal: After this course you’ll have a set of strategies for climbing more calmly, with more freedom from fear and with greater confidence. Now it’s about consistently practising, so that everything truly and sustainably becomes part of your own comfort zone.
What do I need?
You climb relatively regularly in the lead (indoors or outdoors) and are at grade 5b / VI- or above. You already have some experience with dynamic belaying of falls and taking falls yourself, and feel technically confident in this regard. Ideally you have already completed one of our courses. How to belay and fall correctly is not part of this workshop but a clear prerequisite. You can bring your own gear or use our rental equipment, which is included in the course fee. Rental gear is provided by us on site; climbing shoes are available in limited numbers and on request.
Further Info:
Depending on the season, courses take place at various crags in the hills around Graz. Every location is easily accessible by public transport or car. Carpooling for up to 4 participants from Graz main station is also available (by arrangement). Like any outdoor course, this workshop is weather- and conditions-dependent. This means that short-notice changes, postponements or cancellations can occur; you will of course be informed by us. In the event of a cancellation, you will naturally receive a full refund. The course only runs with a minimum of 3 participants.
