 helped me to greatly improve my climbing performance and enjoyment December 18, 2007

it hasn't quite been a month since i finished ilgner's book and i can consistently onsight two letter grades harder than before. some of this improvement can be attributed to natural progression (i have only been climbing a year) but prior to reading the rock warrior's way i did feel my progress slowing. ilgner's book helped me break down mental barriers that i had been forming; they were barriers which i hadn't even noticed until reading the rock warrior's way. now i have returned to rapid improvement and--most importantly--i love climbing more than i ever did before!

Before I read this book, I was afraid to lead and would back off leads if I thought there was a chance I might fall. I had led a couple 5.9s, and easier routes, on bolts. Last week, I led a sustained 5.10d, last month I took my first lead fall on a 5.10c, and yesterday I led 5.10b as if it were 'no big deal.' The Rock Warrior's Way has transformed my view of leading and of climbing in general, and has opened up a whole new world of climbing for me. Thank you, Arno!!!
 A tedious read March 2, 2006

This brings a lot of new-age mysticism to rock climbing. There are definitely some valuable insights but you have to wade through a bunch of tired prose to find them. Overall, it won't do as much for your climbing as spending that time climbing.

A very fine book, a must for those who seriously want to achieve their goals. Only with comitment goals can be conquered.

Arno provides the opportunity for advancing your climbing, your business and personal life. The opportunity to resolve challenges in climbing and life are addressed in this book. Arno offers a vision for improvement and understanding in the warrior's way. This book and Arno's training afforded me unparalleled advancement in my climbing and my personal life. As an individual who owns my own business and participates in many sports such as climbing, tennis, golf, snow skiing, and scuba diving to mention a few; the mental process of all these is sometimes overlooked in the application of physical ability. Arno understands the importance of involving and training the mental element in climbing to catapult your performance in life.
I have taken classes from Arno as well as taken his Warrior Training course. His training and guiding are mirrored here in this book. I highly recommend this book and the application of this book in the rewarding experience of taking his classes also.
