Paul Piana | Big Walls and Big Dreams Power Company Climbing 2023-05-03 | Paul Piana is a legend. There’s no debate about it. In this episode we sit down at my house to discuss his partnership with Todd Skinner and big dreams of big walls. Many years ago when Paul was in a bit of a financial bind, Amy Skinner helped him out by buying every copy he had of his 1997 book Big Walls: Breakthroughs on the Free-Climbing Frontier. While here, we asked Paul to sign those copies and we now have a limited number of these first edition signed copies for sale - with all proceeds going directly to Amy Skinner. With every purchase of Big Walls, you are helping to support The Todd Skinner Legacy Fund (which you can learn more about below.) This book is iconic climber Paul Piana’s account of his and longtime climbing partner Todd Skinner's historic first free ascents of four of the greatest rock faces in North America: El Cap's Salathe Wall, the Direct North West Face of Half Dome, Wyoming's Mount Hooker, and the Great Canadian Knife. Beautiful full-color photos from Galen Rowell, Bill Hatcher and Beth Wald fill the pages of this coffee-table style hardcover book. powercompanyclimbing.com/blog/paul-piana Planning a trip to Wild Iris?

REMIX | EFFORT: How to Try Harder featuring Bill Ramsey, Jonathan Siegrist, Jason Kehl and More Power Company Climbing 2023-04-07 | Most of us have never given 100% to an attempt on a rock climb.

Single Arm Hang Form Power Company Climbing 2022-11-20 | For many athletes, Single Arm Hangs are often more about the stability of the shoulder than they are about strengthening fingers, and rushing too quickly to a smaller edge by taking off weight can reduce the work the shoulder needs to do. In our programs, if we are using Single Arm Hangs, it's because we WANT the shoulder involved.

Juliet Hammer | Grades, Body Comments and Internet Trolls Power Company Climbing 2021-10-26 | Juliet Hammer is a straight up crusher, with over 30 double digit boulders under her belt. Still, she isn't immune to the dark side of the internet. The side which so regularly has to push their "expertise" on grades and climbing. Many of these people are too incompetent to understand how incompetent they are - the Dunning-Kruger Effect. And their comments can be harmful to not only the original poster, but anyone who reads them.In this episode, Juliet and I unpack a recent reel she posted to Instagram, of a V10 gym boulder, that brought the trolls out. You can find the reel we discuss at instagram.com/reel/CVA2dk_MnW3You can find Juliet on Instagram at instagram.com/juliet_amandaYou can find her online at julietamanda.comCheck out my conversation with Caroline Wickes, which we mention, at powercompanyclimbing.com/blog/2021/4/15/ep-201-caroline-wickes-eating-disorders-in-climbingAnd my conversation about spray with Kerry Scott at powercompanyclimbing.com/blog/2017/7/27/episode-53-pride-or-spray-with-kerry-scottJoin our community forum at community.powercompanyclimbing.comSupport the podcast at www.patreon.com/powercompanypodcastWe don't tweet.

Bibliographie Downgraded from 15d to 15c Power Company Climbing 2021-09-01 | Stefano Ghisolfi recently made the 2nd ascent of Bibliographie, a proposed 15d (9c) first done by Alex Megos in Ceuse, France. This would have made Stefano only the 3rd person to climb the grade - behind the two climbers widely considered as the best in the world. But Stefano chose to say that the route isn’t 15d after all, but 15c (9b+). Why? In this episode, Nate and I discuss grades, downgrading, egos, pressure, and how these two climbers handled the situation in an incredibly mature, progressive way. But is it the best way? Does it matter?These are exactly the types of conversations our Patrons get more of. 2 extra episodes every month. You can become a patron at patreon.com/powercompanypodcastWe don't tweet.

The Bouldering Process | Flight of the Antelope (V10) Power Company Climbing 2021-06-17 | The process required to send will be different for every boulder and every person, but over time themes will inevitably emerge. In this video of my process on Flight of the Antelope, I am forced to deal with a technique I'm not good at - full crimping, a type of intensive effort I've spent years improving, and most prevalent - fear and insecure moves high off the pads.

Bad Feet are Good for Your Climbing | Inductors Power Company Climbing 2021-05-02 | To get the most transfer from gym to rock, using bad feet is an absolute necessity.

How to Train Contact Strength | A Spectrum of Exercises for Climbers Power Company Climbing 2021-04-05 | For every aspect of our climbing that we want to improve, there is a list of exercises we can choose from. These exercises exist on a spectrum that at one end is more measurable and isolates individual actions, but doesn’t transfer as directly to sport. On the other end are exercises that are less measurable, combine many complex interactions, and as a result are far more transferable to sport. 00:00 | Intro and the continuum01:14 | What is contact strength?02:09 | What does the research say?04:06 | The relationship between force and velocity06:25 | Start of the continuum of exercises06:43 | Velocity No Hang08:53 | Velocity Hang11:42 | Grip Specific Velocity Hang13:13 | Campus Board Jump and Latch14:50 | Grip Specific Jump and Latch16:55 | Campus Ladder Variations18:24 | Small Rung Ladders18:48 | Foot-On Small Rung Ladders19:20 | Power Strips20:17 | 1-3-Max-Match21:07 | Boulder Campus22:17 | Indoor Climbing23:22 | Outdoor Climbing24:15 | Wrap Uppowercompanyclimbing.com
Board Meetings | Is it a Weakness or is it Just Hard? Power Company Climbing 2021-03-25 | Hard climbing is, well, hard. In this episode Nate and I discuss whether or not failure indicates a weakness - or if something is actually just plain hard. Training can often result in unrealistic expectations, but if you keep a few things in mind, you'll be much better equipped to sort it out.
Board Meetings | Climbing Terms We Dont Like Power Company Climbing 2021-03-18 | Source:podbean.com/eau/pb-rrver-fe1ad3Hopefully, for most of us, 2020 was a year that showed us we need to be more cognizant of the language we use and the effects that it has. That shouldn't end with 2021. In this episode, Nate and I discuss the most popular terms in climbing that we aren't fans of. I'm a firm believer in the power of words. Intention and context are important, but equally important is how something is generally received. If I can help or allow people to try harder, feel more comfortable, and feel less excluded just by changing the use of a word - particularly a word that could easily be replaced like most terms in this sport - then I can't imagine why I wouldn't do it.

We sat down at my house while Taylor was traveling from Bozeman to St. George for her new job at Contact Climbing to talk being female in the routesetting industry and lessons that she's taken from routesetting into coaching.You can find Taylor on Instagram at instagram.com/holistic_climberYou can work with her through holisticclimber.comYou can find us at www.powercompanyclimbing.comYou can support the podcast at www.patreon.com/powercompanypodcastWe don't tweet.

Board Meetings | Stop Blaming the Routesetters Power Company Climbing 2020-12-08 | Source:podbean.com/eau/pb-d9gkm-f45f93The title says it all. We do it too much. We blame the routesetters for our own failings, our own shortcomings, our own lack of commitment, our own destructive ego. It's not their fault. Here's why.

Eric Jerome featuring Max Zolotukhin | What Makes a Great Boulder? Power Company Climbing 2020-11-20 | Source:podbean.com/eau/pb-w6ehc-f2dd10Eric Jerome loves lists. All kinds of them. Lucky for us, he also happens to be a brutally strong boulderer with a penchant for nerding out about all things bouldering.I sat down with Eric and special guest Max Zolotukhin (one of the few people with a nerd level to rival Eric’s) and did my best to hold my own in one of the nerdiest conversations this podcast has ever hosted. Turns out, we only got about 1/3rd of the way through what we needed to. Hopefully at some point I’ll get these two to sit down again for more in depth examination of the most subjective objective list ever created.You can find the Top 100 List, complete with videos, at powercompanyclimbing.com/blog/top-100-boulders-usYou can find Eric on Instagram at instagram.com/eric.jeromeCheck out the Crag Kit and Boulder Bag at www.powercompanyclimbing.com/essential-elementsSupport the podcast at www.patreon.com/powercompanyclimbingUprising Resources at www.powercompanyclimbing.com/uprising-resourcesWe don't tweet.
