Podcast appearances and mentions of Hazel Findlay

Jaką rolę we wspinaczce odgrywa trening mentalny? Jak pracuje się z lękiem przed lataniem? Co możemy zrobić na poziomie układu nerwowego, aby oswoić się z dyskomfortem na ścianie? I czym jest mityczny stan flow, za którym wszyscy gonimy? Miałam ogromną przyjemność porozmawiać z jedną z czołowych postaci, jeśli chodzi o mentalną stronę wspinania – Hazel Findlay. Hazel jest przede wszystkim znana ze wspinaczki tradowej, czyli najbardziej wymagającej psychicznie formy wspinania. Jako jedna z pierwszych kobiet pokonała drogę o trudności E9. Poza osiągnięciami na ścianie, Hazel pomaga innym wspinaczom poprzez kursy i mentoring na platformie Strong Mind Climb, głównie skupiając się na psychologii wspinania i zarządzaniu lękiem.  Jeżeli interesuje Was mentalny aspekt wspinania, a dokładniej oswajanie lęku przed lataniem, porównywanie się do innych i zafiksowanie na wycenie, to nie ma na świecie lepszej osoby do posłuchania niż Hazel. To był absolutny zaszczyt, móc porozmawiać o jej sposobach na osiąganie stanu flow i zarządzanie lękiem przy najbardziej niebezpiecznych drogach. Zapraszam do słuchania i notowania!

"You can sculpt your body to perfection, but without mastering your mind, you'll never unlock your true potential. The real victories happen in your head."

Listener Week is when all the topics, interviews and discussions are chosen by YOU!We hear from listener Siobhan Daniels. She wrote to us on Instagram: 'I would love you to talk about van life and an alternative way of living.' Siobhan is 65 years old and after selling her home and possessions has lived in her motorhome for five years. She joins Nuala McGovern on the programme.Listener Kitty Dowry wanted us to take a look at so called 'risky' sports, and to encourage us all to look at them in a different way. Kitty is a climber; she has been doing it for 10 years and wants to see more women give it a go, even those who might have written it off for fear of it being too dangerous. Kitty joins Anita, as does Hazel Findlay, a professional climber and coach.As part of Listener Week we have been asked by widows to discuss one side effect of bereavement – hyper-arousal, and the term ‘Widow's Fire'. Nuala McGovern explores these ideas with listener Lizzie, Stacey Heale, who has written a book – Now is Not the Time for Flowers - about her experience of being widowed, and also by the psychotherapist Lucy Beresford, who can shed some light on what might be going on.How one moment or person can change your life's trajectory. Listener Bettie tells Anita how a childhood invite to a friend's house introduced her to a new way of life -one she says saved her.Listener Sarah Palmer got in touch to tell us about the volunteer work she does with the charity Pets As Therapy. She joined Nuala to talk about how her life has been “immeasurably improved” because of her dog Haggis and the work they do together visiting local hospitals and care homes.Why do so many of us feel bad about our tummies and why are the rounded or wobbly ones never celebrated? That's what listener Carole wants to know. Content creator Lottie Drynan created the IBS blog The Tummy Diaries and #mybloatedwardrobe and has learned to love her rounded stomach. She joins Nuala McGovern, along with Charlotte Boyce, Associate Professor in Victorian Literature and Culture at Portsmouth University, and columnist Pravina Ruda to discuss our historical and cultural relationship with our tummies.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Sarah Crawley

Listener Week is when all the topics, interviews and discussions are chosen by YOU!Woman's Hour listener Elaine asked the programme to discuss the issue of having sex in later life. Elaine is in her seventies and her partner would like to resume a sexual relationship. They are both negotiating medical conditions and she feels reluctant. Elaine would like to know what is typical or normal in your seventies. Sex and relationship therapist Charlene Douglas and Dr Clare Gerada, former President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, explain the medical and emotional challenges around intimacy in later life and the accommodations that can be made if older couples want to have sex.Listener Teigan Banks got in touch. ‘I would love to talk about how losing my mum at 11 has led to attachment to maternal figures throughout my life and sometimes this can be negative. In all the grief media I see this is something I never see spoken about and it can be quite isolating. I'm sure other people who have lost parents have experienced similar things. I'm 21 now and this is something I still struggle with. I can feel guilty for these attachments as I feel like I'm forgetting my own mum. But knowing these people can't really replace my mum or be that for me.' Anita is joined by Teigan to talk about these issues and also by Julia Samuel, a psychotherapist, the author of Grief Works. Why can women's haircuts cost more than men's, at the same salon? One listener has asked us to find out. Anita is joined by Caroline Larissey, chief executive of the National Hair and Beauty Federation, a trade organisation for the hair, barbering and beauty industries, and equality lawyer Elizabeth McGlone, who has short hair.Listener Kitty Dowry wanted us to take a look at so called 'risky' sports, and to encourage us all to look at them in a different way. Kitty is a climber; she has been doing it for 10 years and wants to see more women give it a go, even those who might have written it off for fear of it being too dangerous. Kitty joins Anita, as does Hazel Findlay, a professional climber and coach. Listener Ameya is a 20 year old singer-songwriter. She joins Anita to talk about her music, explain how her songs represent her neurodiversity, and discuss why it's important for her, as a British-Indian woman, to break into the mainstream and raise awareness of autism.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

Episode 181 of The Adventure Podcast features one of the most accomplished rock climbers in the world, Hazel Findlay. Hazel featured on the podcast before, back when it first started for episode 19, and is good pals with Matt. A lot has changed for Hazel since then. She bought a house, got married and is now expecting a baby. In this episode, Hazel talks to Matt about giving up the dirtbag life, or more so about how she actually hasn't given it up entirely. They talk about realities of life on the road as a pro athlete, as well as exploring the idea of settling down and becoming 'grown ups'. Hazel is a leading coach, with a real focus on the mind rather than the body, and they get quite deep into the psychology of things - intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation, bravery, real vs perceived risk, and flow state. It's a fascinating conversation which will no doubt make you question the way your brain works.Photographer: Jonny BakerSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

We sat down with the master of climbing mindset, Hazel Findlay. Hazel has made many significant free ascents of El Cap, and is one of the very few to climb the storied single pitch trad test piece, Magic Line. In this episode of the podcast, we talk with Hazel about her history with Yosemite, the projecting process for Magic Line, and of course, tips and tricks for building a strong mind. She shares some of her best insights about finding flow; a new concept that compliments flow, called clutch; first steps towards building a personal sending philosophy; and even a few practical exercises you can put into practice right now to start working on your headgame. And of course, how this all got applied during her own projecting process for Magic Line, because Pro's struggle with headgame too!

This week we are talking about Arctic Ascent. The new climbing documentary featuring Alex Honnold and Hazel Findlay. As amazing as the climbing is, it's the team dynamic that struck us. What can we learn from Honnold, Hazel and the group when it comes to communication, empathy and leadership.

Marty and Holly sit down with Dr. Heidi Sevestre for a conversation about climate change and geoengineering, as portrayed in The Ministry For The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.  Dr. Sevestre is a glaciologist who is leading the call to action on climate change through her research and education initiatives. We talk about her recent expedition to Svalbard with Climate Sentinels, a zero-emission research expedition on skis to understand the impact of black soot on the melting of glaciers.  We also discuss her recent expedition to film a National Geographic documentary (Arctic Ascent) about the surging glaciers in Greenland, gathering unprecedented data with the help of NASA technology and some of the world's best climbers (Alex Honnold, Hazel Findlay, Aldo Kane, Mikey Schaefer, Adam Kjeldsen).  Then we get into the nuts and bolts of some of the geoengineering proposals in The Ministry For The Future, and bring Dr. Sevestre's perspective as a working climate scientist on how to make the best use of our resources and the time we have left to halt and reverse the trajectory we are on.  We discuss pumping out the lubricating layer under glaciers to prevent them from dropping into the ocean and raising sea levels catastrophically.  We talk about dying the arctic ocean yellow, sending sulphates into the upper atmosphere or spreading reflective beads over the arctic.  It seems that if our civilization and species is going to survive, it's going to take a lot of bottom-up solutions and the collective action of our next few generations on this planet.  While attempts at solar radiation management on a global scale will likely cause more harm then good, major carbon sequestration projects will be needed.  And it may be that the most effective way to capture carbon will be to create more forests and wetlands, saving the world by re-wilding the world; our best solutions may come from ecological engineering rather than geoengineering.Home | Dr. Heïdi Sevestre Glaciologist (heidisevestre.com)https://www.heidisevestre.com/Climate Sentinels | Hurtigruten Grouphttps://www.hurtigruten.com/group/foundation/projects/climate-sentinels/Dr. Heïdi Sevestre (@HeidiSevestre) / X (twitter.com)https://twitter.com/HeidiSevestreDr. Heïdi Sevestre (@heidisevestre) • Instagram photos and videoshttps://www.instagram.com/heidisevestre/?hl=enThe Ministry for the Future - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ministry_for_the_FutureKimStanleyRobinson.info | The reference site for Kim Stanley Robinsonhttps://www.kimstanleyrobinson.info/Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

In episode four, we walk through the basics of understanding mental training techniques for climbing with Hazel Findlay. Hazel is a professional climber and mental training coach, known for her first ascents of big walls around the world as well as her strength in single pitch sport and trad climbing. She is the third person to send Magic Line in Yosemite, a 5.14c single-pitch trad route that was originally put up by Ron Kauk in 1996. We talk about her early days in climbing, understanding fear, and effectively using exposure therapy to overcome fear in climbing through developing strong self awareness and accurately assessing the correct challenge level for you to make progress, rather than staying in avoidance or creeping toward panic. Hazel also shares some insight specific to navigating fear and developing a healthy mindset when climbing with your romantic partner.Resources:Arno Ilger: The “Godfather” of Mental Training in Climbing on the Curious Climber Podcast Strong MindPerformance Hacks training videosClimb Smarter by Rebecca Williams

Elite climber Magnus Midtbø returns to The Struggle with his business partner, Till Gross, to share their perspective on how climbers can improve at the sport by accessing A-list coaches and other climbing resources online.   - Magnus and Till are developing a pretty ambitious and impressive online coaching platform that includes some of the biggest names in the sport including Adam Ondra, Alex Megos, Hazel Findlay, Dave MacLeod, and Daniel Woods just to name a few. And in developing these courses, Magnus and Till are learning how us climbers can best absorb new information and apply it to our training and climbing… something that can help us all to level up, whether we work with a coach in person, scrape YouTube for the latest training advice, or enroll in Adam Ondra's course that he's building with Magnus and Till. We also touch on other topics, including the one thing Magnus learned when he was a newer climber that totally changed the game for him, what Magnus's big climbing goal is these days, and the YouTube video idea that ended up being just too sketchy for Magnus to go through with. Hint… it involves cheese. - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: Rungne: Try Magdust, performance chalk at a great price, and check out all of Magnus's other favorite gear.

Four years ago this month in 2019, Yosemite's Magic Line, a 5.14 crack originally put up by Ron Kauk and not repeated until more than 20 years later by his son, Lonnie, saw its third ascent. Pushing her limits both physically and mentally, the formidable Hazel Findlay solidified her status as one of the strongest trad climbers in the world with the send. She reflected on her experience working the line at her blog, which is a must-read. Today, we rewind to an episode with Hazel in which she shares strategies for getting into the right mindset to send, strategies she no doubt called on to take down Magic Line. She talks breathing techniques, pre-climbing rituals, flow state, and more. When this episode was recorded, Hazel was just beginning her journey into being a professional coach, and she has since continued along that path, founding Strong Mind, which specializes in mental training for climbers, and also the Strong Mind Podcast, which she hosts. If you're interested in learning more about Hazel and Strong Mind's offerings, check out Hazel's Performance Hacks course!   Read Hazel's blog about her Magic Line experience.

We were excited to have Hazel join us this week, she's the head coach at Strong Mind, the company that is working to redress the balance by exploring the psychological side of our sport. It's pretty easy to talk about the physical side of climbing, hangboard protocols and shoulder conditioning or whatever, but it was a lot of fun to dive into the murkier waters of the mental side with someone who really knows their stuff. If you think you might benefit from a tune up to your  mental game (to be honest we probably all could) then check out Strong Mind's online courses here: https://go.strongmindclimbing.com/webinarAnd if you're enjoying the podcast and would like to support us: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Most of us have never given 100% to an attempt on a rock climb. Most of us just don't know how. It's one of the hardest to cultivate components of high performance: effort. So, the big question: How can we all learn to give more effort? In this REMIX episode, we'll hear from climbers Bill Ramsey, Jonathan Siegrist, Jason Kehl, Hazel Findlay, Troy Fauteux, and more, as well as author Alex Hutchinson and Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis about how we – the average athlete – can refocus our effort.

New Year, New Us. We connect for the first podcast of 2023, and Chris shares his aspirations of becoming a climbing warrior while Andrew is back on his usual bullshit of planning for another year of truly unimpressive mediocrity. Hazel Findlay comes to the rescue, with an inspiring conversation about her approach to mental training through her Strong Mind training program. She offers her wisdom on everything from what makes us all afraid to fall (and fail), to why Alex Honnold is, mentally, so special. Hazel reflects on her past year, in which she climbed 9a with Escalamasters, and established two remote big-wall first ascents in Greenland with Honnold, as well as battled lots of injuries. Be sure to check out StrongMind Climbing to register for Flight School, which is launching soon!

Hazel Findlay is a professional climber and a mental training coach, and she's been climbing for 27 years since the age of 6. Well-known for bold ascents and strength of mind, she has climbed E10, 9a, font 8a (V11), freed El Capitan 4 times and put up many first ascents. While Hazel admits to still being scared when she climbs, she's built the tools, skills and practices to manage her mind through mental training. Hazel has been coaching for the past seven years in the area of performance psychology, stress and fear management. She specializes in helping people manage their fears in climbing and maximizing performance using psychological tools. She is a trained coach with Animas coaching and The Flow Centre, and is working on her MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience. Join Travis and Hazel for a compelling conversation about Strong Mind Climbing, navigating injury, Hazel's Greenland expedition with Alex Honnold, her father, risk, fear, body image and weight, and good style.In This Episode:Hazel Findlay Instagram | Website | YouTube Strong Mind Climbing Website | Instagram www.sufferbetter.com

You may have heard me say that I've been doing some mental training coaching with Hazel Findlay this year to help with some fears and mental “blocks.” Well, it's been so valuable working with her that I wanted to have her on the show to talk about some of the same things we've talked about in our sessions together. Hazel is a 33-year-old professional climber and mental training coach. She made a name for herself at a young age for her bold trad ascents, having been the first British female to send E9 (basically 5.13d but with death fall potential). She went on to be become the first British female to send 5.14b, and this year she did her first 5.14d (9a). She's also done a lot of big wall climbing, having done the 3rd ascent of Magic Line (5.14c R, 8c+, E10). About 7 years ago, she began coaching after completing 2 coaching programs, and she's been seeing clients ever since. This year she created an online program for climbers, which I took and highly recommend, called Strong Mind. And now, she's offering the Strong Mind Community, which is an ongoing learning experience for climbers all about mental training. I wanted to have her on the show to talk about some of the most common things she sees that are holding climbers back mentally. We discuss the ins and outs of fear of falling, fear of failure, and social fears, and how she helps people work through all of them. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.   Show Links Hazel's Strong Mind Course Hazel's Strong Mind Community Hazels Instagram @hazel_findlay Skills and Drills Workshop with Alex Stiger

Hazel is one of the best all round rock climbers in the world. She got to this level, despite her small physical stature, by letting go of the common inhibitors and focusing on the positives. Not only does she operate at the highest level in climbing, but she now also helps others achieve their potential through her ‘strong mind' approach. #meaning #life #challenge #journey #iceclimbing #Getitdone #mindset #podcast #podcasting #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts #spotify #podcastlife #podcaster hiphop #applepodcasts #podcasters #podcastshow #itunes #spotifypodcast #newpodcast #interview #entrepreneur #motivation #applepodcast #newepisode - Sponsors - @lasportivauk  @petzl_official @Arcteryxuk @landrover @lyonequipment  @crudecoffeeroasters @evileye.eyewear  @reality.maps @incoolcompany @bremontwatches @scallop.offical ... - Supporters - @panorama_lodge_namche  @mission.uk @thecoolconversations  @vidrate @Everesttoday

Hazel talks to Sue Jackson about flow, mindfulness and performance and how they all relate. Sue is a psychologist, researcher and mindfulness practitioner. She has a phD in flow and carried out the first in-depth qualitative investigation of the experience of flow by elite athletes. She studied under Csíkszentmihályi, who first coined the term flow and carried out the first research into flow as experienced by everyday people. Sue and Csíkszentmihályi wrote a book together called 'Flow in Sports' which was the first book addressing flow state in sport.Learning how to train your mind is the single greatest investment you can make in climbing, sport and life in general.

Angus has climbed hard free routes on El Capitan, he climbed the infamous E9 Indian face on Cloggy as a youth, and recently set his sights on climbing a 9a sport route in Spain. Suffice to say, Angus Kille knows a thing or two about ‘being bold'. He talks about setting ambitious goals and making them a reality. How he handles the pressure on the climb and off it, and more specifically how he manages deep-seated fear of falling or the thought of it. He also answers questions such as ‘how do you prepare for a 9a' and ‘what's it like trying the same 9a big project as your partner', in his case Hazel Findlay?

Steven Dimmitt AKA ‘The Nugget Climbing Podcast' is the founder and owner of one of the hottest (and most interesting) interview shows in the climbing industry right now. It has only been going just over 2yrs but has already had a huge impact on the climbing community and features tonnes of well-chosen and crafted interviews with pros, coaches and climbing personalities.  His show has featured some of the great climbers of all time and clients we've also tested or trained ourselves - including people like Ben Moon, Hazel Findlay and Steve McClure. Steven was also a client of ours at Lattice, some years ago, but connected with us again recently with Tom Randall as a guest on his own show. This got us thinking, if we've got someone who's spent the last 2 years interviewing some of the world's best climbers and most interesting members of the community, then surely he's observed some patterns and commonalities between all these individuals? In this episode, Tom chats to Steven about some of the guests on the show, how he pulls information from his sources and has utilised it in his own climbing or with his own clients and finally what he's learnt from his experiences of living and working on the road whilst trying to perform. Find out more about Steven's podcast here and his Patreon here. You can also find him on Instagram here! The Lattice jingle is brought to you by Devin Dabney, music producer of the outdoor industry who also hosts the American Climbing Project.

Hazel Findlay and Alex dive deeper into the intricacies of British trad climbing. Just don't hit the ground.

British trad climbing might be the most unique flavor of all. Is it an audacious game of risk or merely a fast track to a Darwin award? In 2000, while following in the footsteps of his heroes, a young James McHaffie booted up in front of the famed Masters Wall and launched upwards. What followed was a four hour fight for survival. Hazel Findlay helps supply perspective on the strange craft of British trad.

The Trad Climbing. UK 1998: siamo nel pieno della scena punk inglese, dell'anticonformismo. E proprio in Inghilterra inizia a farsi strada un modo nuovo di pensare alla scalata, un modo nuovo chiamato da subito TRAD, che sta per tradizionale. Si perchè la roccia deve essere lasciata com'è e scalata senza dare troppo vantaggio all'essere umano rispetto alla montagna. La tenuta mentale e l'umore dello scalaore sono la parte più importante, così come l'etica, il rispetto dell'elemento roccia, da non violare mai. Si tratta di una nuova forma di esplorazione verticale che necessità di grande controllo e perfezione. Per molti inglesi l'arrampicata era questa sin dal principio, prima dell'arrampicata sportiva. Scopriamo assieme la storia della scena TRAD inglese grazie ai suoi migliori esponenti. Ci guidano James Pearsons, Jacopo Larcher, Hazel Findlay.

The Trad Climbing. UK 1998: we are in the midst of the English punk scene, of non-conformism. And it is in England that a new way of thinking about climbing begins to emerge, a new way immediately called TRAD, which stands for traditional. Yes, because the rock must be left as it is and climbed without giving too much advantage to the human being over the mountain. The mental stability and the mood of the climber are the most important part, as well as ethics, respect for the rock element, which must never be violated. It is a new form of vertical exploration that requires great control and perfection. For many Brits, climbing was this from the very beginning, before sport climbing. Let's discover together the history of the English TRAD scene thanks to its best exponents. We are guided by James Pearsons, Jacopo Larcher, Hazel Findlay.

The Trad Climbing. Großbritannien, 1998: Wir befinden uns inmitten der englischen Punkszene, im reinsten Antikonformismus. Und genau in England macht sich eine neue Denkweise in der Kletterwelt breit, TRAD genannt, als Abkürzung von traditionell. Ja, denn der Felsen muss so belassen werden, wie ihn die Natur geschaffen hat, ohne dass der Mensch den Berg überwältigt. Der Geisteszustand und die Stimmung des Kletterers sind der wichtigste Teil, gemeinsam mit der Ethik, der Achtung vor dem Felsen. Es handelt sich um eine neue Form der senkrechten Eroberung, die große Selbstbeherrschung und Perfektion erfordert. Für viele Engländer war das schon unlängst die Quintessenz des Kletterns, schon lange vor dem Sportklettern. Heute erzählen uns die wichtigsten Vertreter der TRAD-Szene davon: James Pearsons, Jacopo Larcher, Hazel Findlay.

Hazel Findlay is a professional climber and mental training coach from the UK, known for her boldness on dangerous and difficult trad routes. We talked about common themes in mental coaching, how the ego manifests in our climbing, supporting your partners, fear of falling, and Hazel's mental approach while projecting the legendary ‘Magic Line', her first 5.14c.Support the PodcastBecome a PatronClimbWell Retreat:climbwell.co/retreat-rifleUse code "NUGGET10" for 10% discount!Show Notes:  thenuggetclimbing.com/episodes/hazel-findlayNuggets:5:00 – Talking across time zones, and Hazel's home in Whales7:00 – Masters studies, Brexit + covid, and Hazel's lifestyle these days9:33 – Being trapped on the ferry curing covid11:25 – Weather in Whales16:11 – Priorities, balancing climbing, coaching, and school, and doing stuff that involves others20:52 – Coaching is asking questions, and helping people figure out what they want and how they can get there25:27 – The ego27:42 – How the ego manifests in our climbing, and loosening our attachment to outcomes30:52 – Patron Question from Tyler: What type of people are most likely to seek coaching?33:42 – Patron Question from Tyler: Differences between men and women (in general) when it comes to fear of falling37:05 – Patron Question from Tyler: Advice when supporting someone who is working on their mental game?40:37 – More resources on fear of falling41:32 – Patron Question from Kellen: Differences between advanced and new climbers when it comes to mental training needs.43:17 – Patron Question from Will: How to balance between confidence vs. cockiness, and cultural differences in confidence48:46 – Magic Line description54:51 – Hazel's mental practice while climbing Magic Line58:18 – Jasna's email, and what inspired Hazel about Magic Line1:04:19 – Question from Jasna: How did Hazel prepare for the possibility of failure?1:07:37 – Keeping your head and climbing better1:08:40 – Daily mental practices 1:11:20 – Hazel's thoughts on the lack of publicity of Magic Line1:15:17 – Patron Question from Jen: Any advice from Hazel's shoulder surgery and recovery?1:24:03 – Patron Question from AnnaMarie: Most memorable climb? 1:25:03 – Next El Cap route?1:25:56 – Escaping to Greece during covid, and her upcoming trip to the states1:29:14 – How to connect with Hazel1:30:18 – Gratitude

Rock climbers are one of the few people interacting with an otherwise remote environment. While a few climbers won't drastically affect the landscape, the growing popularity of the sport means it is more important than ever to spread awareness on how climbers can impact the ecosystem they interact with. Legendary rock climber Hazel Findlay joined us to reflect on sustainable climbing practices and what her own experiences have taught her. We also chat with Mossy Earth conservation biologist and fellow climber, Tiago de Zoeten, to understand the extent of the climbing's impact and what can be done to reduce it.

On todays news show Alex Megos shows the world his 'Brush Point' style, Hazel Findlay sends The Quarryman and we have a round up of all the hard climbing action from around the world.

"I climb better when I'm scared." I've heard this quite a few times. I even thought it was true about myself for a while in my earlier climbing career, but it surely can't be true? After speaking with Hazel Findlay about maintaining the bubble of a flow state in the last episode, there was one part of her account which reminded me of something else. Something different. Hazel's story was about maintaining concentration and avoiding falling back into a distracted mind while climbing at her limit. Magic Line has spaced and difficult to place gear, but the physical danger was a small part of the equation. The distractions were the same social and performance anxieties that most of us deal with, coupled with an added expectation as a professional climber. When Hazel hit the rest just before the final boulder problem on Magic Line she burst out of her bubble of concentration and had to fight hard to rebuild it to finish the route. It reminded me of something. After flicking through some old magazines and guidebooks it dawned on me - Neil Gresham's account of climbing the Indian Face in 1994. Neil had described how his body was being torn apart by his mind on the final moves to the finishing jug. Anchored to that jug he had felt a wash of regret and joy at being alive. Unlike Hazel he had been completely distracted by a genuine fear of his impending death. He'd ridden it right to the edge on one of the most dangerous routes in the country. Despite this experience he went on to attempt Meshuga at Black Rocks a few years later - taking a bad fall on the unprotected section of the route and tumbling through the boulders below, sustaining a head injury that took him the best part of a year to recover from. He returned in 1999 and made the second ascent of the route. This decade of risk taking culminated in the second ascent of Equilibrium at Burbage South. He put everything he had learned into this route, physically and mentally, and when it was done he decided that was enough. He didn't want to risk his life for these routes again. On the Indian Face Neil described how close he came to falling off the crux, high on the face above questionable protection, certain that he would die. What was it that kept him on? With the tension building his calves were shaking, his tips were sweaty and his mind was wandering. He says he thought he was off, but something screamed inside him and kept him on the rock. Is there something primal that drives the urge to survive strongly enough that you can keep it together when it really matters? What was it that Neil had experienced in extremis on the Indian Face? And why would he put himself in that position again? In this episode I try to answer these questions by following Neil through the 3 ascents and understanding what's really going on in his mind, with help from clinical psychologist Dr Rebecca Williams.

Flow is a concept that can divide in climbing. For Dave Thomas it was the joyous experience that removed him from other problems in life. For Mina Leslie-Wujastyk it was a performance tool. Mina told me that a lot of her understanding of flow had come from conversations with Hazel Findlay and it had helped her to develop a different mindset both on and off the rock. Off the back of these interviews I wanted to know more, both to understand flow as a scientific concept and as a more ethereal tool for self fulfillment. That journey took me down some interesting paths in climbing, from the writings of George Mallory to US legend Doug Robinson, to an understanding of how flow can improve our physical performance or our wellbeing. Through conversations with Hazel Findlay and Dr Rebecca Williams I've explored the strange places that a flow state might take us, how better to experience one and the apparent contradiction at the heart of it all. There are many inspirations for this episode. Obviously previous interviewees Dave Thomas and Mina Leslie-Wujastyk, as well as current. Robert Macfarlane's Mountains of the Mind provided some of the additional thoughts and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's excellent book Flow.

Ein Gespräch über den Spagat zwischen ambitioniertem Sportklettern und Klimaschutz. Das Gespräch mit Lena war ausgemacht, noch bevor ihr Name kürzlich in vielen Medien aufgetaucht ist: Vor wenigen Wochen hat sie als vierte Frau die PRINZIP HOFFNUNG erfolgreich geklettert: Ein 40 Meter langes Testpeace von Beat Kammerlander in Vorarlberg. »Prinzip Hoffnung«8b/+, Trad, wacklige Plattenkletterei und Runouts für Fortgeschrittene. Für jemand, der von sich selbst sagt, dass sie früher riesige Angst beim Klettern hatte, eine echte Ansage. KlimaschutzMindestens genauso inspirierend ist allerdings ihr Engagement fürs Klima: Sechs Stunden sind sie und ihr Partner jedes Mal mit dem Zug von Innsbruck nach Bürs gefahren. Mühsam war es, das sagt sie selbst. Aber es sich für sie persönlich einfach richtig angefühlt.

Top UK all-rounder Hazel Findlay talks about being a professional climber, Tsunami, Magic Line, coaching, social media and podcasts.

Hazel Findlay is a top professional climber, constantly touring the world in search of new adventures and breaking records. In recent years she has been working as a coach, helping climbers of all abilities to overcome their fears and progress to the next level.  Some of the subjects covered in this chat include idea of mastery (as opposed to competitiveness), the mental health benefits of climbing, coaching as a kind of giving back, how climbing is similar to public speaking, and how training an awareness of the body helps to increases one's awareness in general.  This episode was recorded at an arts organisation called Access Space in Sheffield. Access Space supports those developing skills and interests in creative technology and is well worth checking out.

Hazel grew up climbing the limestone sea cliffs of Pembrokeshire. In the twenty years since those first adventurous forays, she has travelled, and climbed, the world, making numerous first female ascents en route. Now, as a coach, Hazel draws off her training in psychology to help climbers train mentally, and overcome that 'fear of falling'.

From gritstone cliffs in the United Kingdom to 3,000 foot Yosemite walls. Professional Rock Climber Hazel Findlay has sent them all. We talk training techniques, overcoming your fears, free soling and her favorite climbs. Then, John Shull dishes on on his love affair with the Royal Family. And we discuss the Top 5 Fictional Cats.

Hazel Findlay has been climbing for 20 of her 28 years, and started out trad climbing on the limestone sea cliffs of Pembrokeshire. She dabbled in competition climbing - she was the British junior champion six times - but at 16 decided to give it up to focus on climbing on rock, especially trad climbing which is her main passion. Hazel has been a full time climber for the last four years, which has allowed her to travel all over the world climbing interesting pieces of rock.  Hazel was the first British woman to climb a trad route at E9, and free El Capitan in Yosemite, which she has now done three times. Hazel has also red pointed 8c and onsighted many 8as, loves all types of climbing from bouldering to alpine climbing and is especially interested in the mental challenge that climbing evokes. (from hazelfindlay.com)

Hazel Findlay is a professional climber and performance coach. She was the first woman in the world to climb E9 and has since climbed a slew of hard (and often scary) routes including 3 free ascents of El Cap and, more recently, the first ascent of Tainted Love in Squamish. We talk about Hazel's early climbing, how she managed to climb hard on a severely injured shoulder, her approach to coaching and mental training, travel, and much more. I was so impressed with the understated way that Hazel talks about her own achievements and her lifelong dedication to learning and personal growth. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/livesofadventure/message

Hazel Findlay is known as someone who climbs some of the scariest rock climbing routes in the world. But how do you make a career out of doing that? She shares her path, what it’s like to make a living from climbing, how her career has shifted as she’s gotten older, her fascination with the mental … Continue reading Pro Climber – Hazel Findlay Ep49 →

UK-based climber Hazel Findlay kicks off the show with a conversation about her recent (and impressive) send of the Salathe wall on El Cap, managing the demands of being filmed/photographed on the wall, and an insightful article she authored this past summer on big-brand sponsorship finally finding the climbing community. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I'm not often intimidated by people, but Hazel Findlay's reputation is much larger than her 5'2" frame, so I was a bit anxious about this conversation. Mental training can be a pretty nebulous topic to begin with, so if I was going to be stumbling over my words, it could end up being a rough conversation. Not long after Hazel showed up at my house, it was clear that while she is indeed a force to be reckoned with, there was no reason to fret. As she would say, my worry was all "rubbish".   Hazel has a really great way of taking these concepts that are sometimes tough to connect with and making them seem simple. She struggles through them just like most of us do, and in turn is able to relate to exactly how we all experience fear, doubt, and any other number of emotions that can be both destructive and extremely valuable. I value this insight as a coach, and I look forward to talking with Hazel more in the future.    In this episode Hazel mentions The Inner Game of Tennis, a classic book about the mental side of performance.  That led me to wonder what other books that Hazel might recommend, so this month we are giving our patrons Hazel's recommended reading list, as well as a bonus episode with fan favorite Steve Bechtel.

ABOUT: Hazel Findlay is one of the boldest female rock climbers in the world today.  Trad climbing at the age of seven on the limestone sea cliffs of Pembroke, it didn't take long for Hazel's talents to be revealed.  For six straight years, she was the British junior champion.  But at 16, Hazel decided to focus on outdoor climbing, specializing in trad and big wall climbing.  In a relatively short period of time, Hazel established herself as a dominating force, free climbing El Capitán in Yosemite Valley, CA., three times on three different routes: Golden Gate 5.13a, PreMuir 5.13c/d, and Free Rider 5.13a - all 33 to 34 pitches respectively. Naturally, this has caught many people's attention.  In 2013, Hazel was awarded Climbing Magazine's prestigious Golden Piton Award.  Although I heard of Hazel Findlay many years before, hearing the whispers of a chic being as bold as any dude out there, she really didn't come onto my radar screen until 2011, when she, along Alex Honnold, captured the 2nd and 3rd ascent of an unrepeated route I had established back in 1983, in Quoddy Head State Park in Northern Maine. Route: Maniac 5.13c/d After that, I knew it was just a matter of time before our paths intersected. I hope you enjoy this week's Podcast.

Date: June 10th, 2015 About Hazel Findlay By the time she was 23, Hazel Findlay had made a name for herself as the first woman to send E9 (basically 5.13d but with death fall potential). The British phenom can been seen in videos doing sketchy climbing way above her bolt or gear with seemingly no fear. She started climbing at the age of 7 with her dad, quickly moved up the ranks as a comp climber, and then eventually followed her heart to outdoor climbing, where she's now traveled the globe (Morocco, United States, Australia, to name a few) to climb in all different styles. I wanted to ask her about how she trains, but she told me right off the bat that she doesn't train ;) So this interview is mostly about her mental game, how she's planning to help other climbers with their own confidence, and we talk about her recent shoulder surgery. What We Talked About How she stays present and keeps a positive attitude on challenging climbs Being a woman who's doing things only men have done before Shoulder surgery How she stays humble in the face of hard projects Her plan to help others with their own climbing Links We Mentioned Hazel Findlay's website: HazelFindlayClimbing.com Book on getting and staying in the "zone": Flow In Sports by Susan Jackson Training Programs for You Check out the new Route Climbing Training Program for route climbers of all abilities.
