Vertical Mind – Psychological Approaches for Optimal Rock Climbing

Vertical Mind takes the reader on a cognitive neuroscientific climb that fuses
the outer world of rock climbing with the inner world of neurons, muscle
memory, and scripts.

In Vertical Mind, Don McGrath and Jeff Elison teach rock climbers how to
improve their mental game so they can climb better and have more fun. They
teach how the latest research in brain science and psychology can help you
retrain your mind and body for higher levels of rock climbing performance,
while also demonstrating how to train and overcome fears and anxiety that hold
you back. Finally, they teach climbing partners how to engage in co-creative
coaching and help each other improve as climbers.

With numerous and practical step-by-step drills and exercises, in a simple to
follow training framework, your path to harder climbing has never been
clearer. If you are a climber who wants to climb harder and have more fun
climbing, then Vertical Mind is required reading. Well, what’s stopping you?
