The best of the best by @verticalascents

When teaching climbers, I focus on something I call outcome anchors.

An outcome anchor is an attentional focus on the result of an action, rather than the complexity of the movement itself. The best climbers know what to pay attention to—and here’s what’s even better: you can learn it too.

If you want to immediately improve your climbing with a few simple attentional shifts, join my newsletter (link in bio).

I’ll be diving deeper into this concept in this week’s newsletter post! taken in Murlough Bay and Fair Head by @verticalascents

Some climbers seem to go decades without a finger injury. Others get them over and over again.

Over the years, I’ve stopped trying to explain why some climbers never get injured. Instead, I’ve become much more interested in when finger injuries actually occur.

This week I’ll share the patterns I’ve noticed when coaching and climbing.
