On the TrainingBeta podcast, Neely Quinn talks to climbers and trainers about training for rock climbing so that we can get “a little better at our favorite sport.” Every week or so, Neely publishes a new interview with pro climbers, non-pro climbers, climbing trainers, and other members of the climbing community about their climbing training philosophies, what they’re up to these days, and their thoughts on diet. We hope these talks help you train smarter and climb harder. If you have any suggestions for topics or guests, please let us know about them on this form.
