I thought I'd share this article about how mental scripts are formed and why they matter in our rock climbing performance.

Very interesting. This explains why rock climbers move their arms around to depict the moves when they try to describe a route to someone else. They're just replaying the script!

Very interesting, as it applies not only to climbing, but to so many other activities that I do with rather little conscious thought, such as playing the piano.

One thing is quite clear to me now, though. My golf swing must not be scripted, since I can never predict where the ball will end up!
