Wondering what bouldering is? Bouldering is an exhilarating form of rock climbing that focuses on short, challenging routes called "problems." It's a full-body workout that requires technique, strength, and problem-solving skills. No ropes or harnesses here – just you, the wall, and your determination! It's a fantastic way to build confidence and connect with your inner adventurer.

Rock Warrior Way - Falling & Commitment Clinic
Hoboken, NJ

Don't miss out on Warrior's Way Falling and Commitment Clinic: A mental training course for climbers. Taught by @dustinportzline on Thursday, October 26th from 5 - 9 pm

This 4-hour gym clinic on climbing mental training teaches you how to become comfortable falling and making moves before reaching a rest stance with the goal of sending more routes and having more fun climbing. This training addresses falling directly to help improve commitment. We do progressive falling practice, followed by movement, breathing, resting, and body/mind awareness exercises. Finally, students apply everything to a goal route. Students leave understanding how to fall, how to take appropriate risks, and how to commit better to those risks.

You’ll learn to:
• Fall safely
• Give a dynamic (cushioned) belay
• Break a climb into smaller risk events
• Assess risks effectively
• Distinguish between no- and yes-fall zones
• Engage no- and yes-fall zones appropriately
• Make appropriate risk decisions
• Improve body and mind awareness
• Rest effectively
• Improve breathing
• Create flow and momentum
• Deal with climbing stress
• Commit more deliberately
• Reduce fear, and more

Students receive a laminated reminder card, .pdf of exercises done in the clinic, and free follow-up email lessons.

Register at the front desk or call (201)740-1423.⠀

$125 for members // $150 for non-members

Prerequisite: must be lead certified to take the course

The clinic is best for those who want to improve their mental game, specifically around fear of falling and a desire to improve commitment. This course has a specific sequence of topics but allows for the type and grade of climbing you wish to be on.
