What do Zen masters, sixteenth-century Samurai, and the world’s elite climbers have in common?
– They have perfected the art of awareness, of poise amidst chaos.
Climbing is a sport of perception, and our level of attainment is a matter of mind as much as body.
By philosopher, essayist and lifelong climber Francis Sanzaro, The Zen of Climbing explores the fundamentals of successful climbing, delving into psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and Taoism. Awareness, Sanzaro argues, is the alchemy of climbing, allowing us to merge mental and physical attributes in one embodied whole. This compact volume, by the author of the classic The Boulder: A Philosophy of Bouldering, puts the climber’s mind at the forefront of practice.

"The Zen of Climbing is...fascinating... We are climbing our best by paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment. The book integrates different forms of practice for developing your physical, cognitive, and mental domains. Highly recommended!" (Udo Neumann, climber, coach, filmmaker, co-author of Performance Rock Climbing)
