What do Zen masters, sixteenth-century Samurai, and the world's elite climbers have in common? They have perfected the art of awareness, of poise amidst chaos.
Climbing is a sport of perception, and our level of attainment is a matter of mind as much as body. Written by philosopher, essayist, and lifelong climber Francis Sanzaro, The Zen of Climbing explores the fundamentals of successful climbing, delving into psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and Taoism.
Awareness, Sanzaro argues, is the alchemy of climbing, allowing us to merge mental and physical attributes in one embodied whole. This compact volume, by the author of the classic The Boulder: A Philosophy of Bouldering, puts the climbers mind at the forefront of practice.
The Zen of Climbing offers a unique perspective on the sport, blending philosophy, science, and personal experience to provide a comprehensive guide to climbing success. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, this book will help you develop your mental and physical skills, cultivate mindfulness, and find inner peace on the wall.
