About this listen

In Vertical Mind, Don McGrath and Jeff Elison teach rock climbers how to improve their mental game so they can climb better and have more fun. They teach how the latest research in brain science and psychology can help you retrain your mind and body for higher levels of rock climbing performance, while also demonstrating how to train and overcome fears and anxiety that hold you back. Finally, they teach climbing partners how to engage in co-creative coaching and help each other improve as climbers.

With numerous and practical step-by-step drills and exercises, in a simple to follow training framework, your path to harder climbing has never been clearer. If you are a climber who wants to climb harder and have more fun climbing, then Vertical Mind is required reading. Well, what's stopping you? Pick it up and get training today!

Great training manual - Bit of a slow listen

The book has loads of great information on training the psychological side of climbing. I thought it worked well as an audio book on the whole but there are a few lists that take a couple listens to fully comprehend. I'd recommend it.

Robot Reading

Quite hard to listen to, sounds like there is a robot reading so very little charisma or emotion.

Narrative was a bit poor and too technical

okay context but bad narrating, the narration felt very technical and as a climber i felt that the narrator did not know climbing or if he did, he could not present it in a way that would keep me intrested. listened allthough all the way through the book, because I am currently injured and want to still progress as a climber
