FEAR OF FALLING MASTERCLASS FOR CLIMBERS

This Masterclass is for everyone who is afraid of falling in lead climbing or bouldering, indoors or outdoors, regardless of how old you are, how hard or how professionally you climb. If you feel like the fear of falling, potentially resulting of the lack of experience, the fear of failing, trusting your belaying partner, the fear of losing control or the fear of hurting yourself, etc. is holding you back – you’re right here. The content includes video classes, a 70-pages workbook with exercises and tools, guided breathing exercises and extra features via weekly emails, plus Q&A and group coaching calls with me—if you’ve signed up for the LIVE or VIP program. If you are still unsure of whether this is something for you or not, try our DIY program. We offer you a 21 day refund – so it’s all risk-free.

Yes! This Masterclass is available to anyone in any time zone, in any country. All you need is an internet connection. Weekly materials will be sent to you by email each week, and all live Q&A community calls & group coachings will be recorded so that they can be accessed at any time.

Yes, this Masterclass will definitely help you improve your fear management if you keep persistently and patiently working on it and apply all the provided mental tools, techniques and inputs. We see ourselves as facilitators, providing you with all our knowledge, climbing experience and psychological input to make this happen. It doesn't matter when it's online or on-site. The mental training tools and strategies remain the same – and it’s up to you to apply them and train falling.

First of all, it’s ok to not be comfortable with falling (yet) when you start this Masterclass. We will systematically guide you to get more comfortable with falling. You will also receive psychologically tried and tested exercises which support you to reach your ultimate goal step-by-step – based on your current level and on what’s currently in your comfort zone. In case the roots of your fear derive from e.g. a difficulty trusting others (in this case, your belaying partner), a fear of failing or losing control – and this doesn’t only affect your climbing, but potentially also your every day life, it might be worth looking at the LIVE or VIP programs to specifically work on these fears.

We encourage anyone who is afraid of falling to take this Masterclass. However, climbing and safety knowledge (how to belay) are required for this class. If that’s the case, don’t hesitate to sign up – it’s not about how much experience you have, but rather about how you can systematically improve your fear management. Regardless of your level of climbing, we can assure you that you’ll learn something new and valuable.

You will need your normal climbing equipment (for lead climbing: harness, rope, shoes, chalk bag, belaying device; if climbing outside: helmet, quickdraws, carabiner; for bouldering: shoes, chalk bag, and a crashpad for bouldering outdoors). Plus, for most of the exercises you will receive, it’s helpful to have a pen and paper.

The length of each module varies depending on the topic. There will be modules, where the video instruction will only take about 7 minutes, but it will be up to you to do the self reflection exercises and worksheets in the workbook – which can take of course longer. There will be other modules, where the video instructions will take around 30 minutes. Plan enough time in your day to sit down in a calm place and work on your fear management. Ideally, this would be a day before you go climbing again, so you can potentially already apply what you learnt on the wall.

Don’t worry, we are always there to support you in the best possible way. :-) If you realise that the DIY doesn’t work, you can still join the LIVE Q&A and group coachings or upgrade to a VIP program – just write us a message. We are really flexible and want you to succeed. Worst case, if you have tried and applied all the exercises but the DIY program doesn’t work for you, we offer you a 21 day refund – so it’s all risk-free and you can see what is best for you.

To be honest: the more often, the better. To overcome our fear of falling, we will need to train falling. However, there will be days when you feel worse and you’re not in the right mindset to train falling. On such days, you obviously don’t need to force yourself. Also, when saying the more often, the better – we also recommend you to be patient with yourself. Change needs time and won’t happen over night.

You will receive access to an exclusive membership area where you have access to the video course, workbook and guided breathing meditations. Additionally, you will receive extra worksheets, exercises and surprises via weekly emails that you can save for a lifetime of guidance.

If you're the self-motivated type, we created the DIY version for you to explore on your own, with plenty of guidance from zs baked into the journey. That’s 250€.

If you want 1-on-1 support from us directly, we created the VIP version, which includes three 50-minute coachings with us in addition to the Fear of Falling Masterclass. That’s additionally 350€. This is ideal for you, if you prefer the direct exchange and support on your journey.
