Hi Trevor, the present course we have running has had fantastic results - and everyone has left us spurred on by what they achieved. Also these weekends have been based on the principle that there is no pressure applied to people to do any of the outdor exercises (eg 60 foot abseil) - hence what they achieve they have done so for themselves.
With regards to this new course it is for people who aren't necessarily scared of heights - since they will already be climbers - but nevertheless a film script is running through their heads that stops them from achieving at their level. Typically it seems people have good and bad days. We're looking at poviding a course that will rescript that film that runs through the mind so that climbers can visualise themselves as the good climber they can be every time they go out. By minimalising the negative thought process the climber can freely focus on the job in hand - ie the climbing.
How we'll do this will be through a series of exercises incorporating NLP (Neuro Liguistic Programming). Then to see if it works - get out and do some climbing. I hope that explains it - but at the moment we're in the planning stages - hence we're looking to run this trial.
Will
