Title
The Spiritual Dimensions of Rock Climbing
Description
This qualitative research study aimed to discover whether climbers attribute religious or spiritual elements to rock climbing. After conducting twenty interviews with climbers in the Phoenix area, responses were coded into major themes: nature, flow state and risk, and community. Ultimately, this thesis evaluates each of these major themes and corresponding similarities with spirituality, concluding that outdoor rock climbing can function as spiritual activity for its participants.
