We will show how to manipulate the brain to overcome fear and better leverage the mind-body connection.

Basic & Advanced Climbing Technique

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced climber we make sure you will level up your skills in this camp. Some of the beginner topics include basic foot and body positions, safety, rope dynamics, anchors, or lead belaying. Advanced topics include lead climbing, overhanging technique, multipitch, self rescue, trad climbing and projecting.

Effective Strength Training and Recovery

Strength, endurance and recovery are key aspects for good and sustainable climbing. We will cover principles like generality and specificity training, progressive overload and consistency, how to calculate your 1RM (1 rep max) and then determine the right volume and intensity. For recovery we will discuss techniques such as cold exposure, breathing, meditation (based on Wim Hof) and most importantly how to improve sleep quality.
