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.

Wow.......2006-07-30

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 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!!!

A tedious read.......2006-03-03

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.

Arno provides the opportunity for advancing your climbing, your business and personal life. The opportunity to resolve challenges in climbing and life are addressed in this book. Arno offers a vision for improvement and understanding in the warrior's way. This book and Arno's training afforded me unparalleled advancement in my climbing and my personal life. As an individual who owns my own business and participates in many sports such as climbing, tennis, golf, snow skiing, and scuba diving to mention a few; the mental process of all these is sometimes overlooked in the application of physical ability. Arno understands the importance of involving and training the mental element in climbing to catapult your performance in life.

I have taken classes from Arno as well as taken his Warrior Training course. His training and guiding are mirrored here in this book. I highly recommend this book and the application of this book in the rewarding experience of taking his classes also.

As a casual acquaintance of Arno's over the years, I was gratified and pleased by how good his book turned out to be. It stands as a high water mark in the human potential genre. Well written and clear, Arno and Achey bring high theory down to earth (or the high cliffs as it were). As most people can imagine the challenge that hard rock climbing is, the lessons in this book could well be applied to help one deal with any challenge. In other words, you don't have to be a climber to get allot out of this book.

Regarding the falling issue mentioned a few reviews back, I have to defend Arno and make it very clear that he does not advocate taking falls willy nilly. What he does advocate is taking responsibility for one's willingness or unwillingness to fall and making that choice based on the best possible information at hand, unfettered by an irrational fear of falling that prooccupies attention and leads to the dreaded 'overgrip'. His fall drills are designed to lesson that kind of fear by making falling a known experience rather than a boogie man that robs one's attention and strength.

Where a climber likes to be on the safety - risk continuum is unavoidably a personal decision. Better to come to that decision with as much skill and information as one can gather. Nevertheless, regardless of how much you know and how strong you are, if you are challenging yourself at the edge of your abilities, you will still have to make your move and shove off into the unknown. That's the beauty of climbing.

ISBN 0553209493 - Stumbling across this book, sheerly by accident, has me wondering why I'd never heard of the series before! Based on this particular title, this is an excellent idea and will engage budding adventure fans from the start.

The storyline, of course, is practically impossible to recount in any way, because the storyline depends on your choices. The only constant is how it starts - you visit friends in France, rent a balloon and hop in. From there, at every turn, you have to make decisions. Go north or go south, peaceful negotiations or attack, swim for the shore or wait for rescue. Every choice leads you to a different page and takes the story down a different path.

A few choices lead to rather sorry - even scary - endings, and not just endings of the story, but your own ending! For example, one storyline has you drifting away into space, where the lack of oxygen leads to your demise. Maybe not appropriate for the ultra-sensitive or kids under 10 (depends, of course, on your kid!). All in all, a fun ride and even a few lessons - the first of which is everything you do has a consequence! Great stuff.

"D. Terman" has to be a pen name, doesn't it? But anyway, this is one of the bedrock greats of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series for kids. Just about anything can happen in this exciting everything-but-the-kitchen-sink set of tales.
