About Jon Cardwell

Jon Cardwell is a 26 year-old Albuquerque native living in Boulder, Colorado, who climbs 5.14d and V15, along with being one of the top male bouldering competitors in the U.S. He's a sponsored climber and also holds jobs as a route setter and youth climbing coach at Movement Climbing and Fitness in Boulder.

I've been hearing all about him crushing Rifle and the Fortress this year, so we sat down and talked about how he trains for that, what he's psyched on right now, and his plans to go back to France this year and finally do Biographie. He's a super humble, sweet and well-spoken guy, and I really enjoyed this conversation with him.

What we talked about:
  • How he trained for The Game (V15)
  • How he trains for hard routes
  • His attempt at Biographie (5.15a) this spring, and what he'll do differently next trip
  • His successful Rifle season this year, including 5.14a onsights
  • His unconventional use of the hangboard and campus board
  • How he gives back as a coach
  • His thoughts on diet
Things We Mentioned Discount on ArmAid

If you haven't heard of the ArmAid yet, definitely give it a look-see. It's a nutcracker-type self-massage tool for your poor, overused arms, and it actually works.

We wrote a glowing review about it here. Use the code "climb" at checkout for a 10% discount!
