Did you miss our packed live stream with Jana Švecová? Here are a few hot takes we discussed.
- “Every climber is naturally good at something different — some people never pump out, some have freakishly strong fingers, some just move well. Where do each of you sit on that?”
- “When you want to get better — how much do you put into fixing weaknesses versus sharpening what already works?”
- “Training something you’re bad at is slow and unrewarding. How do you sit with that frustration?” ⏩ “There’s an argument that a small climber with strong fingers has an advantage on certain terrain — and that it makes the ascent count for less. What do you make of that?”
- “Is blaming your height ever a real explanation, or is it always an excuse?”
- “How far should climbers — and women especially — go with weight?”
- “Are a few extra kilos of muscle actually the obstacle people think they are — or is it a sign the climbing style needs to change instead?”
- “Have you ever held a weight that wasn’t healthy for you?”
- “A woman climbing 8B+ and a man climbing 8C+ are comparable performances. Do they land the same way with an audience?”
- “Flash means you do it first try with prior information. But “prior information” covers a huge range now. Where does each of you draw the line?”
You can watch the whole stream anytime in the membership section on my YouTube channel. We're running the stream as part of my Tips & Tricks, so you can expect more streams with new topics and fine guests there.
