The “Head Game” series explores various mental aspects of climbing—mindfulness, fear control, competition, and psyche. In this installment, Prescott local Paul Roberts explores the idea of “mindfulness” using techniques he teaches during his “Mindful Routes” training workshops, such as breathing, visualization and self-talk.
Everything was shot in Groom Creek, one of Arizona’s better-known bouldering areas, located near Prescott.
