Climbing... can you think of a more fun way to master your own personal psychology? To calm yourself down in the face of stressful situations? It not only provides useful skills for everyday life, it's also fun. Boom.
Don McGrath and Jeff Elison are psychologists, professors, PhD's, and (perhaps most importantly for our purposes) climbers who put their heads together to write and publish Vertical Mind: Psychological Approaches for Optimal Rock Climbing. In this episode, Don, Jeff, and I had a conversation about the mental game involved in climbing and techniques each of us can use to improve and have more fun getting out there.
So buckle your helmets and lace up your Sportiva's ladies and bros. You are listening to the Brave Monkeys Speak.
