Coach Hörst provides a transparent deconstruct of his mini-project during a recent trip to the Frankenjura. Gain insight into his thoughts, emotions, and problem-solving techniques in challenging his physical limitations (and fears) in pursuit of the redpoint.

I’ve got something different for you in this episode…which I hope that you’ll find revealing, instructive, and extremely beneficial. I will take you through the process of working my mini-project during a recent trip to Germany. I’ll share with you my thoughts, wide-ranging emotions, and problem-solving techniques in sussing out the beta, challenging my physical limitations (and fears), and going for the send on my final climbing day of the trip.

I trust you’ll find some techniques and tactics to adopt and adapt to improve your boulder or route projecting.
