Attention Climbers
Welcome to the space where we learn to climb smarter, harder, and with more joy, by simply attending to our moment-by-moment experience of this beautiful sport we get to share with one another, across a variety of dimensions - humour included.
Each short-form episode contains an experience, a story, and a specific practice - that invite you to explore your own climbing life physically, mentally, emotionally, or even spiritually, on and off the wall.

Feet, Hips, Hands: 5 Minute Guided Body Scan for Climbers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
*The first 3 minutes cover the WHAT, HOW and WHY. The remaining time contains the meditation.*
Feet-Hips-Hands, and its sister cue - attention on the little toe - are a few foundations of Coach Belinda (Be) Fuller's bottom up, holistic, technique based coaching approach.
By practicing the cueing sequences while we are NOT climbing using a body scan, we strengthen the basic "attentional coordination" required to activate this firing pattern on the wall - leading to foot-led sequencing, efficient power generation, and a climbing style that dances up the wall - the telltale signs of Coach Be's climbing and teaching.
I recorded this episode as a live meditation that I participated in myself, in a moment where I needed a relaxed but active meditation for immediate stress reduction, AND wanted to ingrain rock-solid climbing instincts. This is where climbing performance and embodied mental health - intersect.
Designed for any climber to listen to and follow along with anytime, anywhere.
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!
