Into the Margins: Crack Climbing, Mindset & Resilience with Tom Randall

In this episode of The Mind Game, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Tom Randall — one of the world’s leading crack climbers and co-founder of Lattice Training.

Tom’s known for pushing himself to the edge physically and mentally, whether that’s hanging upside down on a horizontal roof crack or dreaming up wild endurance challenges that most of us wouldn’t dare attempt. But what struck me most in our conversation was his honesty about fear, failure, and how mindset plays a central role in every climb he takes on.

We spoke about:

• How a finger injury led him down the unlikely path of crack climbing
• What it really means to train for pain tolerance and not just strength
• How he reframes discomfort, fear, and failure
• The mental side of elite climbing — and how Lattice Training is changing the way athletes train for psychological performance
• Why enjoying the process matters more than any result

Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or just someone who’s fascinated by the mental side of performance, I think you’ll love this episode. It’s a raw, inspiring look into what it takes to operate at the edge — and to keep coming back for more.
