BOARD MEETINGS | The Most OVERRATED Climbing Training Methods Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

In an ideal world, we'd value climbing training methods based on how well they actually work, but that's not reality. Instead, climbing training goes in trends. What that means is that we both overrate and underrate various methods. In this episode, Nate and Kris discuss their top most overrated training methods.

Juliet Hammer | A Better Relationship With Climbing Grades (Especially if You're Short) Mar 10, 2026

Show notes

Like it or not, grades are a part of climbing, and I've recently been exploring how to have a good relationship with them. In that exploration, I've decided on a range that I believe any given grade represents.

But to stress test that range, I wanted to talk to someone who is an above average climber with an above average resume, spends a considerable amount of time thinking about this subject, AND who ISN’T the height of an average male like I am.

One person really stood above the others – pun intended. Juliet Hammer. She’s a coach, crusher, has been doing experiments concerning indoor grades and working on a resource for how to engage with grades.

And she’s just shy of 5 feet tall. Perfect.

➡️ TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF TRAINING

Most "simple" training plans are actually fairly complicated when compared to the basics of how to improve at climbing. But they don't need to be. This might be the simplest - and still effective - training plan for climbers of pretty much all levels.

TAPED TIPS | What Climbers Get Wrong About Microbeta (And What We Can Do Better) Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

When climbers work a project, the process often goes straight from beta discovery to dialing in microbeta. This isn't wrong, but might be missing some important pieces.
