BOARD MEETINGS | Extra Effort vs. Overtraining Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

Giving that extra bit of effort can make all the difference, but there is a thin line between that and overdoing it. It's a frustrating topic to find any real information on. In this episode, Nate and I explore this line.

Caroline Wickes | Eating Disorders Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Eating disorders and disordered eating are a real, but often hidden problem in the sport of climbing, and many of us unwittingly perpetuate the idea that less weight is better. In this episode, Caroline Wickes and I sit down to discuss her personal experiences with eating disorders, as well as the things she learned while researching for her Climbing Magazine article, Weighing In: Does Climbing Need an Eating Disorder Intervention?

For help with an eating disorder, contact the NEDA Helpline.

Check out the study from Lenae Joubert referenced in the episode.

Check out the documentary film LIGHT.

BOARD MEETINGS | Is It A Weakness or Is It Just Hard? Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

Hard climbing is, well, hard. In this episode, Kris and Nate discuss one of the unrealistic expectations that training can bring about - that everything should just feel easy.

BOARD MEETINGS | Climbing Terms We Don’t Like Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Hopefully, for most of us, 2020 was a year that showed us we need to be more cognizant of the language we use and the effects that it has. That shouldn't end with 2021. In this episode, Nate and I discuss the most popular terms in climbing that we aren't fans of.

I'm a firm believer in the power of words. Intention and context are important, but equally important is how something is generally received. If I can help or allow people to try harder, feel more comfortable, and feel less excluded just by changing the use of a word - particularly a word that could easily be replaced like most terms in this sport - then I can't imagine why I wouldn't do it.
