Maximum Climbing is written for climbers of all ability and climbing preferences. Mental skills are largely inseparable from the technical and tactical skills needed to excel at bouldering, sport climbing, traditional and big wall climbing, alpine climbing and mountaineering.

Eric Höouml;rst brings unprecedented clarity to the many cognitive and neurophysical aspects of climbing and dovetails this information into a complete program, setting forth three stages of mental training that correspond to beginner, intermediate, and elite levels of experience and commitment-the ideal template to build upon to personalize one's goals through years of climbing to come.
