Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Mental training is scarcely covered in the climbing literature, yet it is as important to performance as strength, flexibility, and technique. In his unique approach to mental training, 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 Warrior`s Way. Here 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. Poor use of attention creates fear, which can manifest itself as anything from performance anxiety to sheer terror. By using attention more purposefully we can understand how fear is created, deal with it effectively, and free ourselves to get back in touch with a far more powerful motivating force--our love of climbing. We can then create the kind of unbending intention that leads to outstanding performance. The Rock Warrior`s Way is a revolutionary program for climbers who want to improve both their performance and their enjoyment of climbing.

I really like this book. Even though I am not that advanced in climbing it gave me interesting insights into what happens "mentally" when you do this sport.

it hasn't quite been a month since i finished ilgner's book and i can consistently onsight two letter grades harder than before. some of this improvement can be attributed to natural progression (i have only been climbing a year) but prior to reading the rock warrior's way i did feel my progress slowing. ilgner's book helped me break down mental barriers that i had been forming; they were barriers which i hadn't even noticed until reading the rock warrior's way. now i have returned to rapid improvement and--most importantly--i love climbing more than i ever did before!

Before I read this book, I was afraid to lead and would back off leads if I thought there was a chance I might fall. I had led a couple 5.9s, and easier routes, on bolts. Last week, I led a sustained 5.10d, last month I took my very first lead fall on a 5.10c, and yesterday I led 5.10b as if it were 'no big deal.' The Rock Warrior's Way has transformed my view of leading and of climbing in general, and has opened up a whole new world of climbing for me. Thank you, Arno!!!

This brings a lot of new-age mysticism to rock climbing. There are definitely some valuable insights but you have to wade through a bunch of tired prose to find them. Overall, it won't do as much for your climbing as spending that time climbing.

A very fine book, a must for those who seriously want to achieve their goals. Only with comitment goals can be conquered.
