2006, 2nd edition. 144 pp, photos. Subtitled 'Mental Training for Climbers', this new book deals with training for the fear that is often an obstacle to top level rock climbing. A training program will help you overcome obstacles to reaching a higher level. Paperback. SIGNED by 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.
