This week we're watching In Sequence: Katie Lamb and the Craft of Hard Bouldering from Patagonia Films!

Kris and Nate discuss the new climbing film, Soudain Seul, and lessons from it that we can use in our own climbing. 

How should we separate training and performance when they both occur in the same environment?

There are lessons from the climbing in a gym that should absolutely be applied outdoors in order to become a better climber faster.

There are aspects of climbing outside that lead us into learning specific things that we don't necessarily find as easily indoors.

With more and more information out there, it would seem that we can learn faster and better. But that isn't always the case.

You nailed the training and showed up stronger. Still, things went wrong.

You know what highpointing is, and definitely redpointing, but what about lowpointing?

In this episode of The Struggle Climbing Show, Kris and host Ryan Devlin talk tactics, specifically those that Ryan has discussed with some of the biggest names in climbing during the show’s second season.

As climbers, we fail a lot. And yet, we don’t even like to hear the word.

Big, scary, and tactical.

It’s not just all about the journey.

Or any grade, for that matter. Boulder or sport.

Eric Hörst chats about how some big life shifts – retirement, the success of his brand PhysiVantage, and becoming an empty nester – have impacted his climbing and training.

Being able to quickly recognize familiar sequences is a crucial ingredient to harder climbing.

Once you learn the power of good tactics it can be hard to step away from them.
