    Granite has shaped climbing history — from Yosemite to crags around the world. In this episode, we’re joined by coach Kris Hampton of the Power Company Podcast to unpack why granite feels so damn hard, how to get better at it, and what makes it such a cornerstone of climbing.  LINKS + RESOURCES: Granite Edge from Nature Climbing https://natureclimbing.com/products/stone-hanger-1?srsltid=AfmBOooMlRoLZuMOTsK6t58u95nNftWMPsn35bbkfmw8g9marvDiJvKy Footholds - Resistors https://www.powercompanyclimbing.com/store/p/resistors?aff=11 Wrist Wrench: https://www.armassassinstrengthshop.com/products/axle-wrench note from Kris: My favorite is 2 3/8 with the 3 hole bar and standard texture grip.
