Ep. 156: Troy Fauteux | Try Harder
Troy Fauteux tries harder than you do. In fact, his try hard skills might have gotten him up hard boulders before the mental skills were fully developed - but I have a feeling those are coming along just fine.
Before you listen to this episode, you should watch the below video. Give yourself 12 minutes of quiet time, and really watch. There’s a lot to unpack here. It’s fantastic. I’ve watched it approximately 35 times in the past few weeks.
Amazing. I can come up with at least 6 or 7 times I likely would have just dropped off of the boulder, choosing not to waste the energy and opting for a “better” attempt.
NOW go listen to the episode.
When you’re done, we’ve got another video for you to watch. Same kid, 3 weeks before sending his first V11. Same topout skills. Again, amazing. I bet I’ve watched this one 50 times.
Most of us have never given 100% to an attempt on a rock climb. Most of us just don’t know how.
