If you use your own rope, it must be a UIAA certified single dynamic rope that is at least 40m long. The Warrior's Way teaches how to focus attention under stress, which allows climbers to better deal with doubts and improve commitment. This clinic develops skills by practicing exercises in falling (introduced in small increments creating appropriate progressions), awareness, movement, breathing, and resting. All learned skills will be applied to a challenging climb during the clinic. The take-away is a structured method for engaging risk with diminished fear.
