  • Push past your imaginary physical and mental limits to discover your real potential
  • Learn how to approach and project hard routes at your limits
  • Enjoy a great climbing community and vibe
  • Climb BETTER HARDER MORE

As the name of this course indicates, participants of this course are granted to learn a whole set of tricks and mental skills to approach, project, and climb hard routes at their limits, as well as the ability to handle mental pressure, fears, and stresses. It goes without saying that all Rockbusters climbing trips and courses are based on the "LEARN by DOING" philosophy. As a result, you will get all the coaching when actually climbing the best routes at a crag and spending as much time on the rock as you possibly can. At Rockbusters we believe that only practice makes you better and thus goal number one is MAXIMIZING YOUR CLIMBING TIME.

Climbing performance is defined by the combination of these three components: mental power, physical power, and technique skills. We will be discussing how big a part each component has in your climbing performance. For a performance climber, the goal is to approach mastery in all these areas in order to reach their potential. And it doesn’t matter if you are a sport climber, boulderer or you aim for hard big wall climbs.

There is no one better qualified than Patxi Usobiaga to lead this course. Patxi, an ex-world champ, and a “training monster” say that his “talent is to be able to suffer”. He is one of the world’s best climbers and has coached pros like Chris Sharma, Adam Ondra, and Daniel Woods to name just a few.

Pair up with Patxi for a week of climbing and training sessions, send some cool on-sights, flashes, or red points in his home destination of Oliana, and find out where your main limitation is and how to improve your overall climbing performance. Simply climb BETTER, HARDER & MORE!

Mental power (fear, concentration, motivation, frustration, …)

Physical power (maximum power, resistance power, stamina, explosiveness, weaknesses vs strengths, …)

Technical skills (footwork, balance, proper use of techniques such as sidestep, drop knee, flagging, resting, breathing, how to grip properly - crimp, open hand, pinch, …)

 

Minimum of 3 participants. In other cases, we will offer different trips/courses of the same or higher value or issue a full refund.
