Warrior's Way Falling & Commitment Clinic

Learn confidence while climbing and learn to better assess and mitigate fall risk with Sevve Stember and the Rock Warrior’s Way!

The Warrior’s Way teaches us how to focus attention under stress, which allows climbers to better deal with doubts and improve commitment. This clinic develops skills by practicing exercises in falling (introduced in small increments creating appropriate progressions), awareness, movement, breathing, and resting. All learned skills will be applied to a challenging route during the clinic. The take-away is a structured method for engaging risk with diminished fear.

Prerequisites:

• Lead Climb/Belay certified at Movement for a minimum of 6 months prior to the clinic
• Comfortably and confidently able to onsite 5.9 at Movement
• Lead climb indoors or outdoors at least 1-2 times a week
