BOARD MEETINGS | The Most UNDERRATED Climbing Training Methods

In an ideal world, we'd value climbing training methods based on how well they actually work, but like it or not, climbing training goes in trends. What that means is that we both overrate and underrate various methods. In this episode, Nate and Kris discuss their top most underrated training methods.

Juliet Hammer | A Better Relationship With Climbing Grades (Especially if You're Short)

Like it or not, grades are a part of climbing, and I've recently been exploring how to have a good relationship with them. In that exploration, I've decided on a range that I believe any given grade represents. But to stress test that range, I wanted to talk to someone who is an above average climber with an above average resume, spends a considerable amount of time thinking about this subject, AND who ISN’T the height of an average male like I am. One person really stood above the others – pun intended. Juliet Hammer. She’s a coach, crusher, has been doing experiments concerning indoor grades and working on a resource for how to engage with grades. And she’s just shy of 5 feet tall. Perfect.

You can find Dr. Vagy online at www.theclimbingdoctor.com You can get his book, Climb Injury Free, at https://theclimbingdoctor.com/product/climb-injury-free-5/ Great video from Quinn Henoch on static stretching that we reference in the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgL8GkzpNsw We don't tweet.

BOARD MEETINGS | Bouldering Tactics: Part 2

Part 2 of 3. In this episode Nate and I sit down to try and parse out a topic that is FAR too big for one episode - bouldering tactics. We intended for this to be a 2-parter, but it ended up being over 3 hours total, so we're making it a 3 part series instead.

BOARD MEETINGS | Stop Blaming the Routesetters

The title says it all. We do it too much. We blame the routesetters for our own failings, our own shortcomings, our own lack of commitment, our own destructive ego. It's not their fault.
