Dru Mack04 May 202200:45:14

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. If you're a human, you will gain a lot from this conversation.

Justin Salas27 Apr 202200:45:53

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.

Alex Johnson20 Apr 202200:50:31

Elite climber Alex Johnson shares her struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game. 

-

Alex Johnson is one of the most badass boulderers out there, and she just keeps getting stronger. 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. As Alex shares, she goes 100% or not at all… and that is clear in this interview.

Alex Honnold13 Apr 202200:47:42

Elite climber Alex Honnold shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game. 

-

Alex Honnold is the biggest name in rock climbing and has tackled some of the sport's biggest climbs. He's the only human to free solo El Cap, a feat that is just mind boggling. He holds the El Cap speed record of the The Nose with his bromance Tommy Caldwell, with whom he’s completed numerous envelope-pushing adventures such as the Fitz Traverse, the Yosemite Triple Crown, and the CDUL. He is so skilled, controlled, and dominant on big walls and heady climbs, one wonders if he even knows what struggle is. Well you’re about to find out. Beyond climbing, Alex is the founder of the Honnold Foundation, whose mission is to support solar energy for a more equitable world. Alex shares the non-profit’s humble beginnings, where its heading, and why we should embrace solar now.

You know Kevin from his iconic first free ascent of The Dawn Wall along with Tommy Caldwell, a climb that took over 6 years to put together and is widely known as the most challenging big wall route in the world. Kevin is an incredibly accomplished climber, from dominating comps as a youth to becoming one of the strongest boulderers in the world with sends up to V14, including first ascents on the now classic Buttermilk highballs The Beautiful And The Damned and Ambrosia.

Favia Dubyk30 Mar 202200:48:23

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. She almost died, multiple times, as she battled cancer and the complications from treatment; she has faced, and continues to face, racism and discrimination on and off the rock; she battled her way back from debilitating injuries and atrophy post-cancer… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 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. Her story is as unbelievable as it is inspiring.

-

Jordan is making a name for himself in the world of big wall ascents and link-ups, such as The Freerider in a day, the Yosemite Triple Crown in a day, and Golden Gate in a day. There are only 5 humans on planet earth who have done that and Jordan is one of them. In addition to being a rockstar climber, Jordan’s helping to educate multi-pitch climbers and amplify climbing’s history through his partnership with The American Alpine Club, and he’s also working to make climbing more inclusive for the LGBTQ community.

Alex Megos16 Mar 202200:43:11

Elite climber Alex Megos shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game. 

-

Alex is one of the strongest climbers in the world, with a few 9b+ or 5.15c routes under his belt including King Capella, Perfecto Mundo, and the first ascent of Bibliographie. He was the first ever climber to on-site 9a or 5.14d, and he has also sent multiple V15 and V16 boulders. He’s crazy strong and talented, but as you’ll hear in our chat, he is most certainly human and struggles in his climbing like the rest of us. We also chat about his view on kneepads and kneebars, his passion for environmental causes, and his giveback clothing company Carrots For Power.

Emily is a quadruple threat, with massive accomplishments from big walls to sport to comp to alpine. She’s one of only 5 people, and the first woman, to send El Cap in a day via the Golden Gate route. Emily has also red pointed 5.14b, she’s a 5-time US Sport Climbing Champion, and she has summited Mt Everest. Basically, she's the least lazy person you know.

-

Adam has 18 World Cup Gold medals,, is one of the best boulderers in the world with four V16 or 8C+ and 17 8C or V15 to his name. On sport, Adam has flashed up to 9a+ or 5.15a with Super Crackinette, he was the first to redpoint 5.15c or 9b+ with Change in Flatanger, and then again with the first ascent of La Dura Dura in Oliana, and he was the first to establish the hardest grade in the world at this time with Silence in Flatanger, 9c, or 5.15d… a 4 year project that has yet to see a repeat. Adam has sent more than 200 routes that are 9a or harder. One can pick up a lot of knowledge through that level of experience… and lucky for us, he’s ready to drop that knowledge on us here today.

Amity Warme on Cobra Crack: Lessons from Not-Sending, Route-Specific Training, Micro-Underfueling, and Doing Her Hardest Routes with a Ruptured Pulley17 Jan 202401:01:24

Elite climber Amity Warme shares her process, struggles, and learnings as she projected (but hasn't yet sent) one of the hardest trad routes in the world, Cobra Crack.

-

Amity is a trad and big wall crusher, boasting ground-up ascents of El Nino, El Corazon, Golden Gate, and the Freerider routes of El Cap, plus other hard trad lines such as Book of Hate (13d / 8b) which she recently sent with a fully ruptured A2 pulley. In this conversation we discuss:

  • Why she chose Cobra as her hardest project yet
  • Going from 9 days as her longest project to more than 30 for Cobra
  • Training on the project (and why it didn't work)
  • Sunk Cost Theory, and questioning whether the struggle was worth it
  • The emotional rollercoaster of projecting at her limit
  • Shoe beta
  • The impact of 'micro-underfueling'
  • Sending her hardest routes in the Valley... with a fully ruptured A2 pulley

Drew Ruana: Climbing Hard Everyday, Never Hang Boarding, Progression, and When to Walk Away04 Jan 202401:25:10

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.

Magnus Midtbø & Till Gross: Learning from the Best Climbers14 Dec 202301:03:51

Elite climber Magnus Midtbø returns to The Struggle with his business partner, Till Gross, to share their perspective on how climbers can improve at the sport by accessing A-list coaches and other climbing resources online.  

-

Magnus and Till are developing a pretty ambitious and impressive online coaching platform that includes some of the biggest names in the sport including Adam Ondra, Alex Megos, Hazel Findlay, Dave MacLeod, and Daniel Woods just to name a few. And in developing these courses, Magnus and Till are learning how us climbers can best absorb new information and apply it to our training and climbing… something that can help us all to level up, whether we work with a coach in person, scrape YouTube for the latest training advice, or enroll in Adam Ondra’s course that he’s building with Magnus and Till. 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. Hint… it involves cheese.

Magnus Midtbø07 Dec 202301:22:53

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.

Dave MacLeod: Part I17 Nov 202301:19:54

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!

Jordan Cannon: Cowboy Direct01 Nov 202301:49:28

Elite climber Jordan Cannon takes us on the unbelievable adventures of tackling one of the toughest high-altitude big wall ascents in the world, the Cowboy Direct route of Trango (Nameless) Tower. 

-

This is Jordan’s third appearance on the show and for good reason – just recently he and partners Matt Segal and Jesse Huey accomplished one of the most mind blowing and impressive high altitude ascents of recent memory– the second ascent of Trango (Nameless) Tower via the Cowboy Direct Route – a grade VII 5.13 big wall that reaches over 20,000 feet into the clouds of the Karakoram / Himalaya. If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to put together an expedition of this magnitude, get clipped in for one helluva ride. Jordan brings his storytelling A-game, covering:

  • How the trip came together
  • Breaking down the costs
  • Acclimatization hacks
  • Team dynamics
  • Risk assessment
  • The emotional and physical highs and lows
  • Assigning asterisks when it comes to high altitude big wall ascents
  • What happens to your body on an envelope-pushing adventure like this

And Jordan answers perhaps the biggest question of all… why do it in the first place.

Eddie Taylor18 Oct 202300:57:06

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.
