You might be thinking this is just a phase.
That the fear, hesitation, and frustration will go away with time or more strength training.
But deep down, you’re wondering why climbers who started after you are progressing faster. Why they commit to sketchy moves like it’s nothing. Why, climbing, which used to be like home, now feels like a test that you keep failing.
Are you really cut out for this?
Is it time to toughen up? Or would it be easier to just quit?
Let me tell you what’s not working anymore:
Believing there’s a single “hack” that’ll fix all your mindset issues.
Meditating once, doing fall practice once, and expecting it to stick.
Skipping mindset work because nobody around you seems to need it.
Copying someone else’s mantras, Reddit or IG advice, without understanding your unique context and challenges in climbing.
The way you talk to yourself won’t fix itself.
And the longer you ignore it, the more ingrained the doubt becomes, the harder it becomes to connect to the sport that you once couldn’t get enough of.
You don’t need to “toughen up.”
If that worked, your body wouldn’t freeze mid-move when you know what to do. And if time alone were the answer, things would’ve shifted by now.
Introducing the 7-Day Mindset Reset Guide for Climbers
This downloadable PDF with journaling prompts, exercises, and progressions gives you a complete, research-backed framework to understand your patterns and shift how you respond to them.
You’ll learn how to create distance from unhelpful thoughts and how to act in alignment with what matters to you, not what looks good on paper or earns someone else’s approval.
What’s inside:
Day 1: Defusion
→ Get space from thoughts like “I suck at this” so they stop running the show.
Day 2: Acceptance
→ Learn how to stay with discomfort instead of avoiding it or shutting down.
Day 3: Presence
→ Reconnect to the session unfolding in front of you, not the one in your head.
Day 4: Perspective
→ Zoom out. Stop fixating on single sessions and focus on the bigger picture of your climbing journey.
Day 5: Values
→ Identify why you climb and use that to stop chasing goals that are not even yours.
Day 6: Commitment
→ Stop waiting to “feel ready” and start taking action, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Day 7: Reflection
→ Track what shifted, identify what stuck, and choose what to carry forward.
Why this works (and why it’s different)
It’s grounded in ACT: a science-backed, athlete-tested approach to resilience and performance.
It’s self-paced & practical: No need to climb every day. Practice for 10–20 minutes or reflect on rest days.
It’s affordable & reusable: about the cost of a gym session, but gives you tools to revisit again and again, supporting your mindset for the rest of your climbing life.
By the end of the seven days, you’ll have exercises and reflections that help you climb with more flow, attempt moves you’ve been avoiding and act with confidence on the wall.
You’ll also notice the shift:
✨”I stopped overthinking my mindset and started practising it.”
✨“My thoughts are not the enemy. They’re just noise, and I know how to climb through it.”
✨“I don’t have to wait to feel confident. I can choose courage now.”
When the noise quiets down — the self-doubt, the pressure, the second-guessing — what’s left is a climber who knows what they’re here for.
Someone who can pick out the good in a messy session.
Who commits, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Who sees mindset as part of their toolkit, not a flaw to fix.
And who consistently works on making that mindset their strongest asset in climbing.
That’s what this guide helps you practice.
