“For a rock climber, reaching the top is not the
point. Rock climbing is the journey that matters most.”
– Ketan Surve, National
Level, Rank 5 Rock Climber
Feel the Adrenalin rush through your body
The climbers enjoy and love the rush they get
when putting their life on the line. All things that possibly go
wrong are a thrill to them. The CLIFF takes away the risk factor
associated with rock climbing yet keeps the activity as it is
otherwise.
The unique part of climbers is that they can control the
adrenalin expenditures by maintaining a collective mindset. This
is accomplishes through staying focused on only what is in
front, staying calm and trusting personal ability. This allows
the climber to go longer without fatigue, but once the mind
shifts too far, it becomes a physiological batter, all the way
to the top.
Prepare yourself for Outdoor Expeditions
The best way to train for outdoor climbing is by
climbing itself. There is no better exercise or training
activity, like climbing that will make a good climber better.
The CLIFF gives climbers the opportunity to build upon their
skills, strength and endurance even while they are not
Stress Reduction
The Value of adrenalin-charged sports isn’t in
stress reduction but it is stress production. Surprised?
Researchers at Texas A&M University have found that
rock-climbing calls up more of adrenalin than public speaking.
This is because activities that are physically and mentally
stressful help body to react better to everyday stress, if they
are “dangerous”, unpredictable and Social (increasing the
pressure to perform).
Work your body to provide balance, coordination,
and mental focus
The physiological and psychological effects on a
climber are more extreme on the mind than most activities. The
mental and physical activities can be affected in many ways.
When climbing, one is competing against gravity, time, fatigue,
and the most important, the mind. Competing against the mind
makes rock climbing, one activity wherein the climber not only
gets affected by the surrounding but also feels the challenge of
pushing him/herself further to achieve greater heights
(literally too). |
