Student Comments

“The commitment class is a great start to my climbing learning process that will help me get past a plateau.” –Steve (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“It was very insightful to transition from thinking to experiencing. Trying different methods and pushing slowly past my comfort zone really helped in starting to overcome the fear.” –Melissa  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“Very helpful. Helping me to refocus. Thank you.” –Darrell (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“Arno’s books and lessons have not only elevated my climbing but also my ability to enjoy and appreciate it.” –Justin  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“Doing the falling practice in little steps as described in the books was very helpful and getting individual attention. I will definitely incorporate falling practice in my regular climbing training.” –Sabrina  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“This was my second time to take this class. I realized that I have actually learned [and] applied many of the things I learned since the first one, in my climbing.  The second one should help me to refine some things (ie. making falls a task).”  –Tom (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“This course far exceeded what I expected to learn and how much I expected to grow in a 4 hour period.” –Kapper  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“This class was great for giving me small steps to manage my fear, climbing on a slack toprope, falling above my clip then getting used to the fall, and putting breathing and movement together. It was very inspirational. –Kira  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“Only thing that was hard for me was the gym was a little distracting. Would have been nice to have more space. It was a great class. Thank you.” –Leanne  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“The Warrior’s Way really allowed me to lead at my level (5.10-5.11) by calming mental chatter, and breathing.” –Beth  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“Great class, learned a lot. Now I’m ready to push myself more while leading.” –Alex  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“Arno is an excellent teacher. The small class size and individual attention are excellent.” –Ann  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

-

“Great ideas on assessing risk from a rational viewpoint vs. emotional.”  –Audrey  (The Source Gym, Vancouver, WA)

    Hey Arno, Any updates on when/how to sign up for a Smith Rock clinic? Your books have been amazingly helpful and I’d love to attend a clinic. I’m in Seattle & excited that you’ll be close.

    Hi Arno,

    I live in Santa Cruz, CA but would be interested in coming up to Oregon for the clinic. My climbing partner would probably want to come as well. I checked your event page but the details of the clinic weren’t listed. Where can I learn more about the clinic and register?

    Appreciate your interest, and I do intend to tour CA sometime. Just don’t know when due to lack of interest by climbing gyms to host the training.
    Best, Arno

    One more note Dan. I’ll also be scheduling an additional clinic at a local gym in or near Portland. I can let you know when I get that scheduled.
    Thanks, Arno

    Hi Arno, I’ve been going back and forth with the Mazamas for a couple of weeks. Right now your clinic is only open to Mazama members / people in the climbing class. Which makes sense…but it would be great if you could offer another clinic open to the general public. I live in Seattle and a friend and I would love to come down to Portland or Smith. Keep us posted if you decide to do another one. Thanks!

    Hi Justin, I’m working on scheduling a clinic (6-10pm) on April 18 at the new gym (The Source Climbing Gym) in Vancouver, WA. Mazamas is helping with this. Stay tuned as we get this arranged. I appreciate your interest. Would enjoy having the both of you attend. Best, Arno

    Hi Arno,
    I met you this last fall at the Obed with my boyfriend Sam when you and your kids were coming out from a backpacking trip. So nice to put a face to a name… And I am interested in taking your clinic on the 18th and would love to get some more information about it when you have ironed out more details. Let me know!

    Thanks.

    Hey folks – Arno Ilgner is coming to Portland in just over a week! The Friday clinics at Smith Rock are already filling up fast. Thursday clinics are in town and an amazing deal! As with all of our clinics: Your clinic INCLUDES admission to the Thursday slideshow with Arno at the MMC. Hope to see you all then! – Lee
