There’s A LOT of great information out there on how to climb harder. But it’s tough to sort through…

Learning when and how to compensate for a weakness is a skill. And skills need to be practiced.

Today, we rewind to an episode with Hazel Findlay in which she shares strategies for getting into the right mindset to send.

Achieving hard things requires sacrifice.

Climbing can be scary.

Big, scary, and tactical.

It’s not just all about the journey.

Kris and Nate are joined by Lauren and Caitlin of The Average Climber Podcast, to discuss some of the biggest ways climbers get in their own way.

Most of us go into a training plan or an outdoor season with an expectation, but expecting results can make us brittle when problems arise.

At a certain stage in climbing, the hand and foot beta you use stops being the deciding factor in whether or not you are successful.

The intermediate climber’s problem with perception starts to arise when they can’t recall all of the solutions they have attempted during the problem solving process.

If you want to get the most out of your skill work and practice, being able to remember what you tried is a great first step.

“You’re overthinking it.” But is your overthinking actually costing you the send?

Can how well we climb actually change how difficult a move looks to us?

Well-intentioned brainstorming about improving ourselves can quickly devolve into avoiding the challenge in front of us.

You’ll get more value out of replicating the times that things go well than you will from dwelling on the bad days.

If you want better answers, start by asking better questions.

Fear doesn’t need to shut you down.

Climbing has never been purely physical.
