The goal of this weekly event is to create a supportive group for people to work on fear/bravery and finding flow while climbing. The focus will be on finding the right challenge level to stretch our comfort zones and focusing on learning and growth. Participants will set their own goals: it could be trying to get comfortable at heights, taking lead falls, taking top-roping falls, whatever you are challenged by. There is no minimum grade or difficulty for this. All participants must be comfortable lead belaying, but there is no requirement that you lead routes yourself if you aren't comfortable with that yet. This is not a coached session, just a chance to build a community of people who can support you with your goals and work on facing fear together. Hazel Findlay is one of my favorite speakers on this topic. FAQs about mental training — Hazel Findlay (hazel-findlay.com)
Agenda: We will meet at the top of the stairs at 6:30 for waivers and have a quick check in about everyone's goals for the night. That can help people find partners who might be working towards similar goals. As we get a couple weeks in we can spend a couple minutes each night sharing what progress everyone is making, what has worked and ongoing challenges.
