Climbing Psychology Book

OVERVIEW

The Climbing Psychology book describes how fear manifests in the brain can have a detrimental effect on climbing performance, whether we experience a fear of falling, a fear of failure, or a negative mindset. The psychology of climbing is not well covered but is just as important as physical training and climbing technique. With a strong mental game, it is possible to operate at your physical limit and enjoy climbing more.

CLIMBING PSYCHOLOGY

The Climbing Psychology book uses the latest in sports psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, scientific research and the author’s own experiences to explain a complicated subject. “Climbing psychology” describes how the mind works in fearful situations – looking at fear and how it manifests not only psychologically but also physically. This book looks at the fear of falling, the fear of failure, the influence of thought, behavioural patterns and performance anxiety.

The book’s concept is that with self-awareness, it is possible to train step-by-step to deal with these aspects in climbing. We live in a society where we strive for results but aren’t always sure how to get there.

We can achieve so much more than we think we are capable of with a few simple techniques and a willingness to learn. A beautifully illustrated book, with interactive video links, great content and plenty of exercises to play with.

What did Øyvind Grande say: “This book gives a very good insight to climbing psychology and how to improve your mental abilities in climbing. I have actively used the book as a handrail when facing mental challenges in my climbing, and it really helps using others’ insight and experience to evolve in this field.”

What can I say but this experience was amazing. Kevin was an amazing instructor very knowledgeable and professional. Cannot recommend Rise and Summit enough. He fully understands the mountains and his clients needs. Even with weather issues he was able to come up with routes for each day pushing me to achieve things I didn't think I would be able to do.

We had a great time this weekend! I took my son Jack for a surprise night away & he had no idea what was coming and he certainly never expected to be sleeping on a cliff face in a Hammock 🤣🤣 Kev was brilliant very helpful with great communication from start to finish, we felt we were in very safe hands. Highly recommend Rise & Summit for a new experience you will never forget. Thanks so much Kev you get five stars from us.

Absolutely top instructor. Communication before, during and after the course was excellent. Friendly, patient and relaxed style, and really good at pitching the challenge at the right level for the individual. I did the multipitch trad climbing course with Kevin at Avon Gorge and it was a really inspiring experience.

We had a great trad climbing course with Eddy organised by Rise & Summit - two days of intense learning and a lot of fun. The course was well organized and Eddy adopted to our experience and expectations - we learned so much in two days AND climbed two multipitch routes as well.

I booked Kevin for a 3-day private Scottish winter mountaineering course, and I couldn’t have picked a more knowledgeable and professional guide. We learnt at our own pace and tailored the course to our liking. I loved every second of it and I now feel I now have the skills and confidence to take away from this experience to go out the winter mountains on my own in a safe manner.

What an amazing experience both the day and Kevin were brilliant. Felt safe and well looked after in Kevin's capable hands. I looked up and thought that it was too high, but so pleased i did it. Highly recommended!!! Many thanks!

My partner and I did the cliff camping experience with Rise and Summit and it was truly wonderful! Kevin's climing expertise and friendliness has made the day even more special. The food was really nice and a gluten intolerance was catered for. Overall the experience was really worth it!

I would highly recommend Rise and Summit and will certainly be using the company again in the future. If you are looking for a good professional company which is well run and has very knowledgeable staff then look no further and contact Rise and Summit.

Attended a performance course with Kevin and had 2 days of very thoughtful and encouraging coaching that really gave me the push (and a few additional "tricks") I needed to start tackling some harder trad routes (HVS/E1).

We did the SPORT CLIMBING COURSE, with Kevin from Rise and Summit. And we can assure you that the course exceeds our expectations, we not only learned about safety techniques for rock climbing outdoors but also learned some techniques and different ways of dealing with fear while climbing. We felt so lucky to book a course with someone who got a lot of knowledge and passion about climbing and the psychology of climbers.

I recently did the Climbing Psychology Workshop with Rise and Summit, which focuses on fear of falling and how to reprogram your mental habits when lead climbing. I thoroughly recommend the course! It was very informative, tailored on the day to the needs of our small group, and gave me the tools I need to help me keep a clear head when leading harder routes in my projecting grades and to really enjoy doing it. It has really helped me grow as a climber. Our instructor Kevin was extremely professional, personable and is great at his job!
