help us stay Awake

Rising Higher toward Him.
so, i say to you, Beautiful Warrior Who Has Awoke:
Just Listen

WARRIOR UP: Help John!

john bachar on his famous route, The Gift (5.12c)

***
in the eighties, John Bachar was one of my role models for free soloing (unroped climbing of difficult routes). his training regimes would completely dismantle all of us who attempted to mimic them. i had the great fortune of visiting and hanging with him in Camp 4 in Yosemite. there was always a huge entourage of scraggly climbers and not so scraggly girls flocked around his bronzed,chiseled body and blonde locks. John's free solos of absolutely intimidating spires inspired me and hundreds of others back then, to push our own Training and Performance. back in Eldorado Canyon, me and my climbing buddies would be leading (roped) some heinous rock climb hundreds of feet above the canyon floor, petrified to move up or down one more inch. all the time, in our minds, we knew what so many others knew,
"Oh yeah, Bachar totally free soloed this route on sight."
when John offered $10,000 to anyone who, "could follow me for a day," i wussed out like the rest of the world. there ain't many humans on this planet that i am afraid to follow for a day. John was one of them.

On Sunday, August 13th, Steve Karafa, President of Acopa Climbing Shoes became victim of a tragic accident on the way home from the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market trade show. John Bachar was also injured in the accident and is expected to make a full recovery. Unfortunately, he is without medical insurance and will be facing tremendous medical expenses.

Tell John that, "Coach ilg sent me, and it is an honor to help out a Warrior who inspired my coach."

you would have dug hangin' out around a Camp 4 campfire with John and go bouldering beneath the moon rising over Half Dome...help my bro out.

thank you for your Warrior Metta.

Student Coop Inspires Other Warriors To Overcome Their Fears

photo by coach of Online Student Todd Bishop and the Vyanic Princess; Amy during their recent WF Intensive which will be profiled in DL soon. Below, Student TB was touched and inspired by Student Coop's conquering of limitations set by eyesight challenge in this morning's DL.

Namaste Coach,

Tell Coop she's a STUD, way to breathe into the fear Dragon
and move past her.

Dude, if people only knew what it felt like to have a Coach of your
caliber that will lovingly take the dull end of a rope for them or be trail side
with a big smile and a blast of teaching and encouragement for them...
Man! ... there wouldn't be a front door left on the temple home for all
the people beating on it trying to get in.
i hope your ready for it, cause i feel that day is coming soon.

Love
Student tb.

WF Mother Warrior's Private Intensive With Coach; Set To Zen

TODAY ON DL
read key coaching insights from coach ilg from his recent Private Intensive with WF Online Student Wendy Cooper of Indiana. coach's text and photos swim with an array of zen quotes...

here are a couple of excerpts:

"The trouble is that you think you have time."
- Jack Kornfield, zen teacher



"...Coop must have been rooted beneath this initial overhang for 30 minutes before she found the answer within; CHI!
the WF Warrior must learn to see beyond the obstacle. body, you see, follows the mind."



"Begin at once to live."
- Seneca

"Stillness-
soaking into the rocks,
the cicada cries."
- Basho

"Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul."
- Simone Weil


Student Coop would reveal to us after doing Ai Imawa beneath the Sacred Peak;
"You know, i know all about the ongoing failures of other Online Fitness businesses. Though many other Personal Trainers, and athlete coaches attempt to do what you do but they fail. They might try to mimic WF, but they can't. You wanna know why?"

i smiled at Coop's growing radiance in that alpine meadow and responded, "No, why?"

"It's simple," she smiled, "You simply cannot Teach what you do not embody."

With that, Ananda, Coop, and i pedaled off into the Kachina Wilderness whereupon we learned how to do a paceline workout among Wapiti, Hawk, and shimmering aspens leaves beneath a Padmasambava sky.
