Maximum Climbing

By Eric J. Horst and Eric J. Hörst

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 H ouml;rst 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.
