About Erin Ettenger

Erin Ettenger is a 25-year-old software engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. I asked Erin to be on the show because she uses our Route Climbing Training Program and has had some amazing success on it, so I wanted her to share her story with you all.

Through using the program (and adapting it intelligently to her own needs), she gained work capacity, meaning she can now climb more routes in a session, and she improved her overall strength levels.

She went from mega-projecting 5.11a to regularly warming up on 5.11a’s in a relatively short time. She’ll tell you all about what she liked about the program, what was hard, and how all of this has translated to her outdoor climbing.
