“I started listening to Steven’s podcast initially for his climbing training “nuggets”. Before I knew it I became instantly more knowledgeable about the history of climbing and important figures that shaped the sport which I find newer climbers tend to ignore or be blissfully unaware of. Yes, the climbing tactics are great to learn about but honestly my favorite episodes are the ones that feature the climbers that have some of the most interesting stories and POVs regarding life in general. If there was anything to critique about his podcast it is that it is mostly focused on climbing training at an
elite level (think V10+/5.13+)—this makes sense though as this addresses his initial concerns, that the internet lacked much info on the type of training required to join that top sliver of the climbing community. Overall he does his homework, listens well, asks great questions and allows for his amazing guests to speak freely on their topic of choice which is usually a better format than making them fill in the blanks.
Highly recommend!”
