Climbing is a sport of perception, and our level of attainment is a matter of mind as much as body. To be successful in climbing, the art of focused awareness must be perfected alongside physical fitness, strength and technique.

Written by philosopher, essayist, and lifelong climber Francis Sanzaro, The Zen of Climbing explores the fundamentals of successful climbing, delving into sports psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and Taoism. Awareness, he argues, is the foundation of climbing, allowing us to merge mental and physical attributes in one embodied whole.
