Customer Reviews
Relatable and engaging
I’ve listened to my fair share of climbing pods and this is by far my favorite. Ryan is a weekend warrior with a family and a 9-5 who loves climbing. This makes it way more fun for me, a fellow obsessed climber with a regular life, to listen to than a pod with only pros. Especially when he gets into the nitty gritty with coaches about training. In my opinion, it’s much more useful than only listening to how pros train and climb. I find his interview structure really engaging and fun. Stop reading this review and give ‘er a listen!
Great show
Ryan is engaging and he strikes a balance between being personal and geeking out about climbing. Yes you’ll hear about hangboard protocols, but he’ll move on to a fun story before it gets dry as a kinesiology textbook. And yes you’ll hear about a guest’s childhood or the lack of diversity in the sport, but he’ll move on to their sick project before you feel like you’re listening to a therapy session. Going to far in either of these directions is the biggest failure of many of the climbing podcasts out there and Ryan beautifully threads the needle to make a fun, informative, entertaining, listenable show.
Overall a great production, you can tell that Ryan is passionate about the details that differentiate great podcasts from the good ones.
Great podcast and host!
Ryan is a solid guy that I’ve had the opportunity to climb with at the gorge, super supportive partner with infectious enthusiasm and positivity! His podcast is the most well produced podcast in the climbing industry. He asks thought provoking questions and seeks out interesting and inspiring guests. Worth the listen and subscription!
