Mental Coaching for Climbers
Let's work on what's REALLY holding you back in your climbing
I'm a Certified Professional Coach who helps climbers get their mental game squared away so they can put all their physical climbing talents to good use.
It's my mission to help you enjoy the heck out of climbing because it really is amazing what can happen to our performance when we truly love what we're doing.
Feeling stuck and burnt out in your climbing
Having a negative attitude about climbing
Feeling frustrated that you're not climbing harder than you are
Fear of falling and fear of failing
Performance anxiety on projects
Setting realistic goals for yourself instead of impossible ones
Comparing yourself to other climbers and feeling pretty bad about it
Learning to enjoy the process of climbing
Negative body image
Whatever is holding you back in climbing

I am a Certified Professional Coach, having completed the CPC program at iPEC in 2023. I'm also certified as a COR.E Performance Dynamics Specialist, which means I've done specific training on performance in sports and other areas of life.
I've always been fascinated by the inner workings of people, and if you've ever talked to me in person, you know that I go deep very quickly. I started working on my climbing mindset with coach Hazel Findlay in 2021 and all of that work, along with the work I've done with my therapist, made it really clear to me that being a coach was my calling.
I've climbed up to 5.13c and V9, and at 45+ years old, I'm climbing better and more confidently than I ever have because of all the mental work I've done.
I used to get REALLY wrapped up in how I was performing, how hard I was climbing, how scared I was, and how I compared with other people.
Now after doing all that work and continuing it every day, I am SO MUCH happier in my climbing life!
I truly hope we can find the same success for you.
I live with my husband, Seth Lytton, and our heeler mix, Willa, in Longmont, Colorado. We regularly travel around the country and world to go climbing.
No problem. Just click the link below to set up a free 15-minute conversation where I'll answer any questions you have and explain coaching a little bit more.
In this session with climbing coach, Alex Stiger, we talk about the performance anxiety she was experiencing on her long-term climbing project.
We dive into where it was coming from, what values she has that were causing it, how she handn't been allowing herself to feel negative emotions on or about her route, and what she can do going forward to decrease the anxiety.
The 3-month package consists of 6 sessions with me where we meet every other week. We will be able to dive into not only your climbing mindset issues, but also other aspects of your life you want to improve.
It might be that your low self worth or your high expectations of yourself, or perhaps your perfectionism, are showing up in your career, your relationships, your body image, or somewhere else in your life.
We can tackle as much of this as possible in those 6 sessions and then if you want more, you'll have a few options to continue working with me.
The 6-session package is the most cost effective way of working with me, and it provides you with the accountability you need to make sure you're practicing the things we talk about in our sessions.
