	Dru Mack	04 May 2022	00:45:14
Elite climber Dru Mack shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game. - Dru Mack is a master of endurance, perseverance, and psych. He grew up climbing on the long overhung sandstone routes of the Red River Gorge, and after sending pretty much everything there, he’s now tackling some of the toughest sport climbs in the western US and in Spain. How good is he? Well, in 2021, Dru put down 21 5.14s, including the insanely hard 14d, Life of Villains. He’s an incredibly hard working, gracious, and very cool person who shares actionable beta for pros to weekend warriors, and then opens up about mental health, addiction, mentorship, and grief.

	Justin Salas	27 Apr 2022	00:45:53
Elite climber Justin Salas shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game. - Justin is a ridiculously strong boulderer and comp climber, with a seriously impressive resume including two IFSC silver medals, five national championships, and a world championship to his name. He’s a V-double-digit climber who just keeps getting stronger… oh, and he also happens to be blind. But if you think that holds him back you’re wrong. He was the first para-climber ever to send V11, and he’s also pushing into some super hard territory on sport routes. Did I mention he’s blind??? Justin is one of the kindest, most impressive, and stoked people I’ve ever had the pleasure of interviewing. And as you’ll hear in this chat, he is a really informed climber and has a ton of great advice for us. Beyond the crag, Justin is doing inspiring work to make climbing more accessible to the visually impaired, and he’s really pushing the sport forward for para-climbers as a member of the Adaptive Climbing Group. - This season is supported by PhysiVantage, the official climbing-nutrition sponsor of The Struggle.

She’s won Nationals 5 times and has 2 World Cup gold medals, she has bouldered 100 v10s (what?!) and famously sent the insanely tough V14, The Swarm. What she experienced AFTER she finally sent that life goal project will probably surprise you. AJ has dialed in her training to a science and she pulls the curtain back on that in our chat, along with so much more. Beyond climbing, Alex is advancing LGBTQ+ issues as an ambassador with Athlete Ally, and has helped to develop some really cool giveback products with Evolve and Athletic Brewing.

Elite climber Favia Dubyk shares her struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game. - If there’s anyone who personifies struggle, and the the breakthroughs that can come from it, Favia is that person.

Favia is a doctor, a ridiculously strong climber, an ultimate ninja warrior, and a low-ball boulderer with many V-double-digits to her name.

	Drew Ruana: Climbing Hard Everyday, Never Hang Boarding, Progression, and When to Walk Away	04 Jan 2024	01:25:10
Elite climber Drew Ruana shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game - Drew started climbing at Smith Rock at the age of 3, and it didn’t take long for him to climb the place out. His focus in those earlier years was on sport climbing, and the kid was a crusher, sending Just Do It, the first 5.14C / 8C+ in the US, at 15 years old. Drew also dominated on the youth comp circuit, taking first place twice at US Youth Nationals in sport and once in bouldering. More recently, Drew has developed a passion for sending and developing the hardest outdoor rigs he can find. Are you ready to have your mind blown? At the time of our interview, Drew had sent 90 V14s (8B+), 37 V15s (8C), and 10 V16s (8C+). Put in a bit of perspective, I believe Daniel Woods has sent 8 V16s and Will Bosi has sent two. Drew has 10. It's outrageous to think about what the future holds for this guy. This conversation is thoughtful and full of incredibly useful insights for climbers of all levels. - CHAPTERS: Struggle: 0:16:10 Training: 0:24:57 Nutrition: 0:36:26 Tactics: 0:46:11 Mental Game: 0:54:08 Purpose: 1:07:00 - Follow along on Instagram @drewruana and @thestruggleclimbingshow Check out some rad YouTube content @drew_ruana and @thestruggleclimbingshow - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: Crimpd: The absolute best tool for self-coached climbers to stay on track with training.

We also touch on other topics, including the one thing Magnus learned when he was a newer climber that totally changed the game for him, what Magnus’s big climbing goal is these days, and the YouTube video idea that ended up being just too sketchy for Magnus to go through with.

	Magnus Midtbø	07 Dec 2023	01:22:53
Elite climber Magnus Midtbø shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game - Magnus is a wildly successful YouTuber, with more than two million subs at the time of this recording, and his videos – a mix of climbing content and general feats of strength and resilience – have amassed hundreds of millions of views. He's also an elite climber with incredible accomplishments indoors and out. In his teens and twenties, Magnus was a dominant force on the IFSC circuit, logging over a dozen wins including Youth World Champion. He was, and still is, one of the strongest climbers in the world – with sport ascents up to 5.15b (9b), and onishghts up to 5.14c (8c+). He’s also notched many 9a and 9a+ routes, including Thor’s Hammer in Flatanger. These days you’re more likely to find Magnus climbing impressively hard boulders in his gym in Oslo, sometimes on video with crusher guests including Adam Ondra and Will Bosi… and sometimes just by himself, no cameras, to unwind after a hard day of editing his latest million-view video. In this conversation, Magnus opens up fully about his struggles, learnings, fears, and dreams. - CHAPTERS: Struggle: 0:10:10 Training: 0:11:33 Nutrition: 0:32:18 Tactics: 0:43:08 Mental Game: 0:55:17 Purpose: 1:01:00 - Follow along on Instagram and YouTube: @magmidt and @thestruggleclimbingshow - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: SCARPA: Whether you’re a climber, trail runner, skier, or hiker, SCARPA offers an array of adventure footwear for the adventure seeker in you. with a commitment to sustainability.

	Dave MacLeod: Part I	17 Nov 2023	01:19:54
Elite climber Dave MacLeod shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game - Hailing from the highlands of Scotland, Dave has methodically worked his way up to the highest levels of the sport, and sits at the very top when it comes to heady trad ascents on the notoriously poorly protected gritstone in his backyard. He has bouldered up to V15 (8C), climbed 5.14d (9a), free soloed up to 14a (8b+), and put up E11 trad. His First Ascents are too many to name, but most notably he put up the world’s first E11 trad route, Rhapsody, as well as Echo Wall which might even be harder. From boulders to big walls, rock to ice to mixed… Dave has a truly unique ability to zero in on very hard moves, with very scary exposure, and systematically break it down to a manageable process until the thing can be done. Beyond his performance on rock, Dave has been contributing to the sport for decades now, as a researcher, author, blogger, and YouTuber. He holds an undergrad degree in sports science and physiology, and dual masters, in exercise science and human nutrition. He knows his stuff and we dive deeeeep in this two-parter! - CHAPTERS: Struggle: 0:09:00 Training: 0:12:50 Nutrition: 0:30:22 - Follow along on Instagram @climbermacleod and @thestruggleclimbingshow Check out Dave's books, blog, and other resources at www.davemacleod.com Watch all of Dave's banger climbing content at youtube.com/@climbermacleod - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: PhysiVantage: the official climbing-nutrition sponsor of The Struggle.

	Eddie Taylor	18 Oct 2023	00:57:06
Elite climber Eddie shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game - Eddie pretty much does it all – boulder, sport, big wall, ice, alpine… he’s stoked, he’s driven, and he’s incredibly fit on vertical terrain. Just a few highlights from many, Eddie has freed Moonlight Buttress, the notoriously challenging Grade V, 12d multipitch in Zion. He’s done The Nose of El Cap in a day along with other big routes in the valley, and lately has been spotted linking up heinously long bike rides with fast and light multi-pitch climbing with his friend and recent guest of the pod, Nina Williams. He has also summited Mt Everest! And he has accomplished all of this while also holding down a full time job as a high school chemistry teacher, track and field coach, husband, and father. Eddie shows that we are ALL capable of greatness if we put our hearts and minds to it. - CHAPTERS: Struggle: 0:07:20 Training: 0:09:43 Nutrition: 0:17:14 Tactics: 0:25:04 Mental Game: 0:34:07 Purpose: 0:40:48 - Follow along on Instagram @alldayeddie and @thestruggleclimbingshow - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: PhysiVantage: the official climbing-nutrition sponsor of The Struggle.
