Fear of falling
The fear of falling when climbing is an emotion that affects all climbers. This fear, although natural and beneficial for safety, can become a significant obstacle to progress and improving climbing performance.
Fortunately, it is entirely possible to work on this fear to reduce it and, as a result, increase your chances of success.
This course will be taught by a climbing instructor, as well as a kinesiologist and hypnosis practitioner, who will provide a real understanding of the fear mechanism.
The 4-hour workshop on the fear of falling in climbing focuses on several essential aspects to help climbers overcome this apprehension. Here's an overview of the key elements you'll encounter:
- Understanding fear - psychological aspects
- Understanding and assimilating the mechanisms of falling and belaying a fall - practical fall exercises
