About Eric H\xf6rst\n

Eric H\xf6rst is a well-known climbing trainer, having written some of the first books on the topic, including\xa0How to Climb 5.12,\xa0Training for Climbing, and\xa0Maximum Climbing. He's a 50-year old climber who still climbs as hard as ever (5.13 redpoints) due to his smart training methods, which he's catered to himself to fit his mature body. His 2 boys\xa0are living proof of his training methods, regularly climbing 5.14's by\xa0the time they were each 11 years old. Eric keeps an active blog on training for climbing, aptly named\xa0www.trainingforclimbing.com. He also writes regularly for\xa0www.nicros.com.
