A few words from the "Climbing is a difficult sport and we sometimes feel like we're stagnating. We don't always understand why some can decipher a passage and climb it easily while we remain stuck! One might be tempted to believe that our limitations are only related to physical abilities. However, we should first ask ourselves other questions: Can I effectively read a route? Can I develop a climbing strategy at the base of a route? Why does fear overwhelm me as soon as I lead, and how can I overcome it? I wrote this book to help climbers seeking • Learn the basic techniques of climbing (foot placement, weight transfer, balance management, etc.) • Progress in climbing route reading, visualization, reorganization, understanding rhythm and recovery, etc. • Improve mental capacities in climbing (fear management, fighting spirit, motivation, etc.).
This guide should enable them to progress rapidly and effectively, regardless of their type of climbing – be it route or boulder, outdoor or indoor climbing."
