“This course was simply amazing. I was a little sceptical about doing an online course, but I was wrong. The availability of all the coaches and the quick responses in the Slack and during the Q&A really made it possible to assimilate the material.
I already feel all the changes this course has brought to me. Since the beginning of the course, I took my biggest falls and led my most difficult routes ever. I fell on routes and stayed positive because I was happy with the way I was climbing and didn't feel the need to Onsight. I'm way calmer while climbing and I listen to my mind and my body a lot more.
I will miss you guys, it was a real pleasure meeting you all!”

"I learned so much more from this course than I could have expected; I was blown away by both the depth and amount of content! I feel truly empowered with knowledge that I can use not only in my future climbing experiences but also in other sports and even career endeavours. Thank you for recognizing the need for educating climbers on mental training, I think it makes all the difference for our experiences!”

"Today I finally let go of my ego it was great! Fear of failure was definitely there initially (what if people see me struggling with this "easy" route??) but it soon disappeared. I was back at the right challenge level, sending routes, and learning loads from the new setters. I'm not sure why I didn't just do that sooner!"

Chris

"Thank you for a wonderful course! I'm really impressed by how much content you put into it and how much you go in depth in all the topics! I found all the theories very interesting and as a psychologist I'm impressed by the quality and depth of this theory. I also learned some new breathing techniques that I'm now recommending for my patients (the physiological sigh)."

“Hey folks, I had a major breakthrough yesterday and thought I'd share. A little back story, in January, I was out climbing with someone I didn't know very well, fell with a bolt at my waist and ended up 20 ft down on a ledge with a broken talus. I really paused when Hazel talked about trauma and how that can be hard to overcome. I wasn't really sure I had any trauma as I understood that the belay was not good and I should have been totally fine. I also accept my part in going out with someone without knowing them that well. Fast forward to yesterday, four months to the day and I did my first fall practice and first day climbing outside since the injury. Thanks again!”

I w“as super nervous/jittery before my redpoint go on my project on my trip and I did a couple gratitude checks with my partner, closed my eyes and focused on the sound of the trees and the wind, hyper focused on my first foothold and it totally centred me and made me present with the climb. I borrowed Hazel's mantra to be with each move and I sent the thing! Sending is awesome of course but starting to feel like I'm in charge of my thoughts and they're not in charge of me is the best feeling in the world!!”

Maya

“It's been so expansive, and I know I'll be returning to the content and still finding some new gems in it going forward. I've already seen how engaging different mind tools, habits, and deliberate fall practice has made the parts of climbing that were feeling intimidating or fear-producing fun again, and I feel really empowered to approach my own climbing and climbing mindset with curiosity rather than judgement. It's night and day from how I was starting to feel about climbing about a year ago! Thank you for creating and teaching this course.”

Tatiana

“Thank you for an amazing course!! Yesterday I led for the first time outdoors. It was great conditions at my favourite crag. I felt good. I did some practice falls on the route first and had a hard time with two bolts. I worked through it and then led the full route. Focused on my breathing and mindset throughout. I have been trying for years to get over my fear of leading and actually had FUN and felt so free doing it. Thank you!!!”

Elizabeth

“Friends, I led High Exposure in the Gunks on Tuesday. It's a pretty easy trad climb but famously heady. I set myself the goal last year to lead it this year - I'm so surprised that it's only June and I sent it easily, in Stress Zone 1 most of the time. I think this course helped a lot: it taught me about stress levels, and motivated me to practice falling on gear.”

Jesse

“I've found that taking a fall on purpose really helps me to climb freely. My mantra I'm trying is ‘float like a bee’ and I think of a bee moving with intention, from flower to flower, using exactly as much energy as it needs to, knowing what it's purpose is. It helped me a lot on a 10a slab yesterday where I just needed to be light and keep moving. I did my first intentional gear fall of the season outside too, on a yellow totem. Taking the falls really helps me just put my attention to the climbing. I used the mind tools to keep me focused-interestingly I found them harder to do as I got tired. It is a skill that needs to be trained just like any other I realize.”
