“Worlds deadliest drinking game... Take a shot every time Coach Hörst talks about how long he’s been climbing or how good he is at coaching.
Edit: Revisiting after a year and several episodes. Omg, I have never heard a human being speak for so long and say nothing at all. The latest episode...”Read full review »

“The host is extremely long winded. It makes it very hard to listen for good info when the podcast is 1.5 hours for 5-10 min of good info. Please shorten the episodes to be more direct.
You can tell how intelligent and knowledgeable he is but it gets dull very quickly. He is constantly say one...”Read full review »

“Really like Eric’s ability to bridge the gap between his knowledge, current knowledge from research and practical application. He’s also great at reflecting naturally on what he has done that has or hasn’t worked or initial perceptions on concepts he’s tried out.”

“Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of great climbing podcasts to listen to. But as someone who doesn’t feel climbing is the end all/be all of my life, I choose to limit how much of my attention it gets so that I don’t miss out on all the other wonderful things life has to offer.
The reason...”Read full review »

“TL,DR: host has incredible knowledge but the podcast needs big improvement on delivery.
I was listened to the energy system episodes. I’m putting 4 stars for the hard work the host put on and made available to us but overall I was quite disappointed. First there’s like 15 minutes of ranting...”Read full review »

“I don’t know why some think it is clever to bring covid into things that have nothing to do with it, but his new intro, “your monthly audio injection, a proven virtual vaccination…”

“Undoubtably one of most knowledgable coaches across the sports these days! Instead of blindly pushing for results coach Horst is valuing enjoyment od life and being at the rocks, injury free training, balanced work/family/climb life - that is getting very rare these days...Thank you for that, Eric!😉”
