Some words from the author

Climbing is a difficult sport, and sometimes you feel like you're stuck. You don't always understand why some people can decipher a passage well and overcome it easily, while you are stuck there! You are quick to believe that your limitations are only due to your physical abilities. However, you should ask yourself other questions first: “Do I really know how to read a route? Can I figure out a climbing strategy at the base of a route? Why does fear overwhelm me as soon as I lead climb, and how can I address this?”

I wrote this book to help climbers looking to improve:

• Learn the technical basics of climbing: foot placement, weight transfer, controlling your balance,
• Progress in climbing strategies: route reading, visualization, reorganization, rest points, climbing pace,
• Improve mental abilities in climbing: fear control, fighting spirit, motivation.

This practical guide should enable them to progress quickly and effectively: whatever their climbing style, boulder or length climbing, in hall or on the rock!
