Attention Climbers!
*ANNOUNCEMENT A/O JULY 15TH 2026** Vision Training for Climbing Mentorship!
I have 1 opening for an ongoing vision and visualisation training mentorship for climbers - targeting performance and wellbeing on-and-off the wall in a systemic way, tailored to your lifestyle learning style, and goals. Contact me via podcast mail for an exploratory call where we will dive into whether this is a right fit for you.
N.B.!
1. This is NOT a paid product or a service with a delivery promise. It is a personalised passion-driven journey of learning, experiencing and reflection at no monetary cost, delivered old school style in the name of personal connection. I am seeking resonance and alignment with you if something drives you from deep within to learn the priceless art of perceptual training and if you are keen to take radical, creative ownership of your own perception and performance.
2. You are responsible and liable for for your own mind, body, experience, learning process and results at all times, and can (and should!) at any time - stop its momentum, speak up, or ignore information - should something not feel right for you. All information I provide is invitation, not instruction. My wish is to impart the basics of what you need to steer your own boat!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharpen your senses. Peak your perception. Build climbing instinct and adaptability off the wall from the inside out, so that you can climb your hardest on the wall.
My name is Crystal, and welcome to Attention Climbers!
All guided meditations are live, improvised sessions that I record in one-go and participate in myself. Each episode emerges in a unique moment where I need a relaxed but active meditation for immediate stress reduction, AND wanted to ingrain rock-solid climbing instincts. This is where climbing performance and mind-body health - intersect.
Designed for any climber, at any point on your journey, to listen to and follow along with anytime and anywhere you feel safe to relax and be in your body.
Rest day? Check.
Injured but want to still be climbing"? Check.
Pre-climb tune-in? Check.
Mid-session rest-and mental reset? Check.
Post-climb cool down? Check.
Stressy, messy, pressy life moments where you'd rather be climbing? CHECK!
Having a body, a mind, and an attentive state of presence - are all you need.
As always, climb well, be well, and thanks for listening!

👣 Guided Footwork Meditation for Climbers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Attending to the moments we can focus on footwork from the lens of gratitude - from the comfort of the ground, a bed, or a chair. Recorded live and impromptu as I guided myself through this meditation over 5 months prior to the publishing date, on Christmas Eve, 2024.
You may notice that this episode diverges from the prior ones (Season 1, Episodes 1-5) in that:
a) you don't hear an intro and outro,
b) The style of accent I'm using is different.
This is because I recorded this meditation as a one-off for my own needs - a quiet, safe and fully relaxed space to still be with, and express my love for, climbing - on a rest day - 4 months before the idea for a public podcast emerged.
I recorded in a Southern US-style accent due to it being much more comfortable for my voice and therefore much more in line with the speech therapy I'm currently undergoing as part of my neurological rehab. 5 months ago I had no idea that was the case - my East-coast American identity was so strong that it wouldn't have crossed my mind to dare speaking English with "different beta" that could temporarily work better for my health, and be super fun to try. Either way, you'll hear the original "east coast mouth beta" here.
At first I hated the sound of my voice and what I was saying, and cringed at the thought of playing this for myself, or ever letting it see the light of day.
All changed a month later, in January 2025, during a long cat-sitting stint with Sesame, our friend Joyce's speechlessly adorable British short-hair. To calm Sesame down from some unfriendly encounters with our Roborock vacuum cleaner, I decided to see what would happen if I played this meditation for her.
Her relaxation response - curling up in her favorite dining room chair beside me and falling into a deep zen - every single time I played my own voice, shifted my own perspective toward myself, what I had to say, and how I was saying it. Thanks in large part to Sesame's encouragement, this raw recording can now be seen and heard - in the light of day.
