Granite has shaped climbing history — from Yosemite to crags around the world. In this episode, we’re joined by coach Kris Hampton of the Power Company Podcast to unpack why granite feels so damn hard, how to get better at it, and what makes it such a cornerstone of climbing.  LINKS + RESOURCES: Granite Edge from Nature Climbing https://natureclimbing.com/products/stone-hanger-1?srsltid=AfmBOooMlRoLZuMOTsK6t58u95nNftWMPsn35bbkfmw8g9marvDiJvKy Footholds - Resistors https://www.powercompanyclimbing.com/store/p/resistors?aff=11 Wrist Wrench: https://www.armassassinstrengthshop.com/products/axle-wrench note from Kris: My favorite is 2 3/8 with the 3 hole bar and standard texture grip. The bar doesn’t fit a regular carabiner but I like the way it rolls better than the d ring version.   Karlos Nasar video - training session overview:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZsq1rlBsmQ Check out Kris and the Power Company Team www.powercompanyclimbing.com For more information on hangboarding, check out episodes 13 & 14 of this podcast. _____ Join Caitlin's Newsletter https://mailchi.mp/caitlinholmes/newsletter-bingo-signup Join Lauren's Newsletter https://www.goodsprayclimbing.com/training-plan-makeover Get on the wait list for The Crew! https://www.goodsprayclimbing.com/crew-wait-list-november-25 APPLY FOR 1:1 COACHING WITH LAUREN https://usv2nrx1n1p.typeform.com/to/vFaAWnov GET YOUR STICKER https://forms.gle/qDenGJTAd5Qmspyz7

Chelsea Murn is no stranger to solo bouldering. In fact, she was alone in the woods for many of the hardest boulders she's ever done (and she's racked up a few V10s in her day). Many climbers struggle to get outdoors as often as they'd like - and part of that struggle comes from coordinating with climbing partners.  Enter - SOLO BOULDERING.  In this episode we cover - the risks you take when bouldering by yourself - building self-trust - Chelsea's favorite gear recs - and more!

You don't have to have a mega-proj and break into a new grade every season. You can have different goals. You can have goals for your nutrition. In this episode we're showing you how to spice up your outdoor climbing with goals that will make you better (and help you have more FUN too). *P.S. I realized we said "raw egg" in this story, but let it be known that it was in fact a hard boiled egg.
