Wolfgang Güllich, one of the most influential and successful climbers of the 1980s, often emphasized the central importance of the mind for peak performance in climbing. Indeed, the diverse movement demands of modern climbing and bouldering make not only athletic abilities but also cognitive processes increasingly decisive for performance—a fact that has now been substantiated by initial empirical studies (Medernach et al., 2024a; Medernach & Memmert, 2021). When observing top athletes such as Janja Garnbret or Toby Roberts, the Olympic champions of Paris 2024, it often appears effortless for them to find creative and technically-tactically optimal solutions even in complex and seemingly hopeless situations, especially at the end of the climbing time.
