Arno Ilgner 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.

We can then create the kind of...

Mike Lapinski Book DescriptionIt's like that in grizzly country. You can do a lot of things that, in retrospect, are mistakes. Like hiking along a brushy trail. No bear, no problem. Big bear, big problem. As a recognized self-defense expert who spends the majority of his time roaming large-predator habitat, I've come to realize that sooner or later it happens to everyone. Through no conscious fault of your own, you find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. And when that happens all the cute statistics-like the one about how you are 380 times more likely to die from a bee sting than a bear bite-vaporize in the twenty yards that separate you from an animal twice as powerful pound-for-pound as any man and capable of tearing out huge chunks of your flesh with its powerful jaws. -From TRUE STORIES OF BEAR ATTACKS.
