  My private 1-1 Mindful Routes workshop with Paul was amazing. Logistics: I contacted out of the blue and told him I had limited time (1 day in Prescott) and was he available. He made time, personalized the experience to fit my needs, and personalized the cost. I already had the strength, but I didn't have the head. This lead climbing workshop wasn't a fall-fest. It tackled the mindful parts of leading and it's greatly improved my climbing. Three days later, I red-pointed my first 11a. That was due largely to the breathing, visualizing, centering, self-talk, and risk assessment techniques I learned and practiced with Paul! I've been committing to routes since, taking falls and, best of all, breathing.

  Paul is at the forefront of mindfulness and the mental aspects of climbing. A small fraction of the sport is physical; incorporate the techniques pioneered here to take your climbing to the next level. Thanks for the wisdom and psyche!

  "Too often climbers are taught only strength and technique. Applying arguably the most important piece of the puzzle; mental training can elevate any climber to the next level. Every member of our youth team practiced harder, redpointed faster, broke through plateaus and felt better about every aspect of climbing after attending Paul’s two-day workshop. Our members learned life lessons that they implement in climbing, and in everyday life. I recommend Mindful Routes to both competitive youth teams and any climber that wants to step up their game in a meaningful way."
