Work with Matt or Alex as Your Climbing Coach

Matt Pincus and Alex Stiger are both experienced climbing coaches who will work with you from anywhere in the world to help you create and reach your climbing goals. They can either consult with you on making your own program or they will create a detailed program for you based on your lifestyle and equipment availability.

WORK WITH MATT OR ALEX \xa0 How Alex, Matt, and I Are Approaching Our Mega Projects

In the episode, I sit down with Coaches Matt Pincus and Alex Stiger to discuss how we trained and prepared for our projects, which are the hardest routes we\u2019ve tried. We go over what the projects mean to us, how we stay mentally focused, and what we\u2019re doing this summer to train for when the weather gets better.

This is an intimate look at how two climbing coaches and I think about and physically prepare for hard rock climbing, and I hope it gives you some inspiration and ideas for your own projects!
