Are you stuck at a plateau in your climbing journey? Rockbusters' Advanced Sport Climbing Experience with Patxi Usobiaga might be exactly what you need to break through to the next level.
Training with Patxi Usobiaga — a World Champion and the first climber to onsight 8c+ — offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn from one of the sport's greatest talents. What makes this experience exceptional isn't just Patxi's impressive resume, but his methodical approach to climbing improvement.
The program begins with a comprehensive assessment at Patxi's climbing gym in Coll de Nargo, where he analyzes your strengths and weaknesses. This personalized approach ensures that every participant receives tailored guidance, whether you need to improve power, endurance, technique, or mental focus.
Unlike basic climbing courses, this advanced experience is designed for climbers comfortable with at least 6c routes who are looking to push beyond their current limits. Participants receive individualized attention as Patxi carefully selects routes that challenge your specific weaknesses while building on their strengths.
Perhaps most valuable is the mental training aspect. As one participant noted, "Improving your mental game is low-hanging fruit" when physical gains become harder to achieve. This course helps you realize "that the impossible is possible, but only if you push yourself to your limits, and beyond."
The benefits extend beyond the week-long experience itself. Participants receive a free one-month training plan designed by Patxi, with options for long-term follow-up coaching. This continued support helps ensure that the progress made during the course translates into lasting improvement.
Beyond the technical benefits, participants consistently highlight the community aspect—spending a week climbing world-class routes with fellow enthusiasts from around the globe creates lasting connections and a supportive network of climbers with similar goals.
Climbing performance is defined by the combination of these three components: mental power, physical power, and technical 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 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”, says 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, and MORE!
