Perché fare un corso di arrampicata su Ghiaccio?
Perché in montagna è una questione di testa e corpo. Significa porsi degli obiettivi e impegnarsi per raggiungerli, fosse una cresta di neve poco esposta che una cima difficile da raggiungere. E porsi degli obiettivi significa anche autocoscienza, ovvero prendere in carico i propri limiti, andare a cercare i propri punti di forza e lavorare su entrambi per raggiungere il proprio obiettivo.
La montagna è anche se non soprattutto un ottimo anti-stress, concentrarsi sull’attività in sé astrae da tutto il resto ed è davvero un ottimo modo per chiudere fuori dalla testa i problemi ed allontanare i pensieri negativi.
La montagna migliora l’autostima: basta arrivare in cima o superare un passaggio soggettivamente impegnativo, e godere di sensazioni indescrivibili.
La montagna rende perseveranti. Non c’è niente da fare: davanti a una parete da scalare è difficile demordere e tentativo dopo tentativo prima o poi (anche nel tempo), si trova il modo di arrivare in cima. È il meccanismo dell’apprendimento per prove ed errori, ed è quello che alla fine ci permette di non mollare mai, nello sport come nella vita
