From Fear to Flow: Finding Confidence When the Walls Feel Tall

Experiencing the doldrums of a class Pacific Northwest winter season? Or looking to warm up the old bones amidst the colder months? Then look no further for a winter activity than your local indoor rock climbing gym, Coeur Climbing Company! This winter we’ve got all the tools to help you unlock both your inner and outer strength, as well as experience pristine movement which will have you working up a sweat in no time!

Embracing the Fear

But of course, you’ve tried climbing before; the walls somehow seem taller when you’re on them as opposed to having both feet firmly on the ground. This trepidation though is what rock climbing is all about. It’s about facing your fears in a controlled environment, allowing you to try harder and climb higher each and every time. 

Here at Coeur Climbing, our staff will give you all the tools you’ll need to approach falling– teaching you how to fall properly so you can keep climbing. Remember, growth isn’t just about how high you climb, but continuing to get back up every time you fall.

A Season for Reflection

We all know everything slows down during the winter. What a perfect moment, then, to encapsulate the beauty of rock climbing. Not everyone’s an adrenaline junkie, but honestly, climbing isn’t about assuming risk. It’s about control, both physically and mentally. 

The holiday season provides us the perfect time to find our inner rhythm, to find movement that makes sense, and to find reflection. Climbing embraces all of these notions, enabling you to master your own fears at your own pace and allowing you to reach new heights previously undreamt of.

Welcoming the Challenge

And now it’s time! Time to experience rock climbing and push yourself towards your goals. Remember that fear is an important aspect of climbing; it’s about overcoming that fear in a controlled environment and challenging yourself. 

You’ll surprise yourself with the personal growth that you see and the confidence you gain. So be sure to warm up this winter on the wall and within here at Coeur Climbing Company. See you on the walls!
