My name is Crystal, and welcome back to Attention Climbers. 

There's one. thing I enjoy infinitely more than solving problems - asking questions. This episode asks the question: what if giving up too soon on a boulder is NOT a psychological limitation, but rather - a perceptual-cognitive one? 

Here are 50 questions you can ask yourself when you are repeatedly falling on a hard climb - targeting your capacity to perceive yourself, the climb, and your surroundings clearly - so that you can produce clear thinking from those perceptions to guide your next action. 

Designed for any climber, at any point on your journey, to listen to and follow along with anytime and 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!
