Get on the Wait List for the Running Class Here The Art of Trying Hard in Climbing with Alex Stiger

In the episode, Coach Alex and I tackled the nebulous topic of trying hard in climbing. Like, really trying hard. A couple years ago, Alex spent some time working with Coach Hazel Findlay and realized that she needed to work on her own try-hard. So she went through a transformation in her mindset that led her to not only understand the importance of trying hard, but how to make it a practiced skill for herself and for her clients.

Alex Stiger is a coach at Movement Climbing and Fitness in Boulder, CO and a Performance Climbing Coach for TrainingBeta. She's been on numerous episodes of the podcast and will continue to be until we run out of things to talk about in climbing.

She's currently in the middle of a very successful 6-week Team Training Program with 12 students, and she'll be taking on another team in the fall. This is the most hands-on way to work with Alex, so if you're interested in being part of her next cohort, you can sign up here.
