Synopsis

The Rock Warrior’s Way: Mental Training for Climbers, first published in 2003, outlines the foundation of The Warrior’s Way ® material. Espresso Lessons takes the material into practical climbing situations. It is the “how to” application of The Rock Warrior’s Way, intended to build upon and complement it.Mental fitness training is simply improving your ability to keep attention in the moment. The most challenging—and interesting— moment in rock climbing is when your mind doubts whether or not you can continue climbing. Knowing when it is appropriate to push through this doubt and when to back off is critical for taking appropriate risks. Espresso Lessons helps you take appropriate risks. It is an intentional approach to risk-taking that includes very specific processes for gathering information, assessing risks, making risk decisions, and taking effective action. Many climbers ignore or avoid falling. Espresso Lessons addresses falling head-on, through intentional falling practice. It also includes specific exercises to practice all phases of risk-taking, allowing you to integrate The Warrior’s Way ® material in a practical and tangible way.

Arno Ilgner makes a lot of sense in analysing the emotions of stress associated with climbing and presents it perfectly so that we really can derive comfort in those situations where we climb at or beyond our limits. Essential reading are the sections on belaying and falling. Excellent book.......more

Brotip: don't read it too fast, it takes time to absorb all the information condensed in this book. In my opinion it starts to get a little outdated, there are newer books that cover the mental aspect of climbing which are more harmonized with todays biological, psychological en neurological insight......more

Goodreads review by Clarissa on April 28, 2023

I participated in Arno's Warriors Way clinic at my local gym and it was absolutely game changing to how I climb. I no longer fear falling, I approach my climbs with much more confidence. This book is the perfect pairing to the clinic. I am able to refresh on the practices and techniques as I progres......more
