Last chance to buy! After we opened registration to the course last time, we decided to keep the doors open permanently. But we’re going back to opening the doors to Strong Mind only once a year. We’ve had over 500 students sign up for the Strong Mind Course now and we want to make sure we can offer the support these students need. We will close registration on the 7th April.

What would it be like to climb without fear of falling holding you back?

Fear of falling is so prevalent in the climbing community that many just accept it as how things ought to be. Or they become masters at avoiding falling, by climbing in an avoidant way that stifles their progress and re-enforces their fear.

Flight School is our course focused specifically on fear of falling, injury, heights and exposure. It includes everything you need to know about how to manage fear of falling and establish an efficient (and, dar we to say, fun!) fall practice in lead, top-rope, bouldering and trad climbing. It covers the science of fear and stress, where people commonly go wrong with fall practice, teaches you effective fall practice and empowers you start and maintain the process of getting comfortable with falling. The course also covers the fundamentals of mental training, including mindset, self-awareness, as well as tools to use in the moment to manage fear and distraction.

Some people benefit from one-to-one support in order to work on deeper and more individual issues. One-to-one conversational coaching is helpful for people who feel stuck in rigid and unhelpful patterns, have a difficult relationship with climbing or notice that the mind is their biggest limitation. One-to-one coaching might also be necessary to discover what is holding you back in your climbing or preventing you from enjoying climbing as much as you could. One-to-one coaching is also important for professional and elite athletes to help them optimise their performance.

Workshops are a great way to learn some of the more practical skills necessary to build a strong mind for climbing, such as fall practice and learning to trust trad gear. Workshops are a great opportunity to work with the coaches and instructors at Strong Mind in person and meet like-minded climbers. Angus and Hazel run several workshops throughout the year, keep a look out on social media or join our newsletter to stay in the loop.
