More time outside during cragging season means les

More time outside during cragging season means less gym time for most climbers. While that's a welcome trade-off, it's important to stay on top of full-body strength to prevent injuries and maximize your power output.

But you don't necessarily have to squeeze in a trip to the gym to do that (because we all know that's the last thing you want to do after a packed day of outdoor projecting). Try these four at-home exercises for climbers from physical therapist Daniel DeMoss instead! No more excuses for neglecting strength training 💪 Head to the link in our bio to build these simple at-home exercises into your routine!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so let's celebrate athletes who prioritize their mental wellbeing just as much as their physical. Professional climber and future Olympian Natalia Grossman recently discovered that her real limitations existed in her mind, not her body. Only after she got her mental health on track was she able to unlock her true climbing potential—and earn a spot on the Olympic team to boot.

What Natalia overcame behind the scenes over the past few years is even more impressive than any of her impeccable performances on the wall. Learn how she prepared both her body and mind for the demands of competing at the highest possible level of our sport while taking a well-rounded approach to healthy living. Get inspired to pay your own mind the attention it deserves at the link in our bio!

Climbing harder isn’t always about working harde

Climbing harder isn’t always about working harder. To climb hard, you gotta climb SMART. Efficiency is just as important as brute strength or power, if not more so!

Do you know how to execute each move with minimal energy expenditure, so you can maximize every ounce of effort you have to give? If not, you're in the right place. And even those of us who know the importance of climbing efficiently know that there's always room for improvement here.

Learn five techniques to help improve your climbing efficiency, conserve energy, and unleash your best work on the wall. Make sure these five key attributes of highly economic movement are present in your climbing every time you pull onto the wall. Link in bio!

If you're anything like me, stretching is the firs

If you're anything like me, stretching is the first thing to go when outdoor climbing season starts up. But don't let your enthusiasm for getting on real rock get in the way of actually being able to move well on the rock.

When it comes to the importance of flexibility in climbing, take it from a climber whose bones might as well be made of rubber: Alex Megos. Alex’s ability to contort his body into pretzels and span huge distances with his legs is just one of the many traits that make him one of the world’s most accomplished rock wrestlers. See what I mean in this video documenting his everyday stretching routine, and what he's able to accomplish as a climber thanks to his mindbogglingly mobile joints. We might not all be able to get on Megos' level here, but we sure can try! Loosen up with the legend himself at the link in our bio.

Whether you have a long-term partner or prefer a string of one-day stands, start your crag season off right with these belaytionship tips. Climbing your best begins with trust. There’s nothing like a strong “belaytionship” to inspire confidence on the sharp end. Treat your belay partner with the respect they deserve, and give it right back to them in kind. It’ll pay off in your progress on the rock. Strengthen your belaytionship at the link in our bio!

They say age is just a number, but it's one thing

They say age is just a number, but it's one thing to say it and another to act like it. Catch Coach Hörst is one of the few masters athletes out there who talk the talk and walk the walk on optimizing performance as an aging athlete.

Eric's accomplishments largely speak for themselves as evidence of his uncanny ability to leverage his strengths as a climber long past the point when most other athletes call it quits. But in this podcast episode with Heather Heylen, licensed professional counselor and health coach, he dives deep into how he actually manages to keep up such high quality work on the wall at age 60.

Tune in to learn how athletes can prioritize recovery, maintain muscle mass, train effectively, and stay healthy—age be damned! Listen at the link in our bio 🎧

In honor of World Book Day, let's celebrate the bo

In honor of World Book Day, let's celebrate the book that helped kickstart the climbing boom! Coach Eric Hörst quite literally wrote the book on all things climbing training and led thousands of climbers to discover how much they could actually be capable of on the wall if they only applied themselves properly.

Ever since it first came out in 2002, Training for Climbing has been ahead of its time in terms of outlining the exact protocols climbers need to follow to see the growth they want. In such a relatively young sport, that's no easy feat. Our fearless leader did the work to understand all the nuances involved in climbing and put it on the same plane as mainstream sports.

There's a lot of information on how to train for climbing out there now, but there's still nothing like the OG that inspired everything else. If you don't have your own copy yet, you're only getting second-hand information! Don't kid yourself. Go straight to the source for a complete guide on strength, power, endurance, technique, mental skills, nutrition, recovery, injury prevention and more. Grab yours at the link in our bio!
