My favorite climbing podcast !
This is by far the absolute best climbing podcast out there. I love the format and the guests who are either elite climbers and / or experts in nutrition, training or something else related to climbing. Every episode is engaging, interesting and relatable with lots of takeaways and it's fun to follow Ryan's journey as he uses his guest's knowledge and visdom to reach his personal climbing goals.

Expressing Gratitude for Your Exceptional Podcast
I have been avidly listening to your podcast, and I am compelled to express my sincere appreciation for the invaluable insights you provide. Your ability to delve into the intricacies of rock climbing, both from a physical and mental perspective, is truly commendable. Your podcast is not merely a resource for improving one's climbing technique; it is a comprehensive guide to becoming a more proficient and well-rounded climber. For example. The emphasis placed on visualization and proper breathing techniques, for instance. I have had the opportunity to implement some of your suggestions, and I must say, the results have been nothing short of remarkable. My climbing prowess has significantly improved, and I find myself tackling routes that I once deemed beyond my capabilities. Moreover, I feel a newfound sense of confidence and focus that permeates all aspects of my climbing experience. I am truly grateful for the time and effort you invest in creating such a valuable resource for our climbing community. I eagerly anticipate the forthcoming episodes and the wealth of knowledge they promise to deliver.

An Enjoyable Listen
This podcast stands out among the growing sea of climbing training podcast. Ryan is a fun and engaging host asking informative questions to his top notch guests. Combined with the journey of Ryan’s goals in climbing makes you feel connected to the show. Give it a try, it’s a worthwhile listen.

Love his long term grind
This dude has grown and improved by leaps, now one of the best podcast and he’s hustling with longevity. Very impressive

One of the best
I can only recommend to jump on the struggle bus or send train by becoming a patreon. A deep dive into climbing with a heart & soul of a real adept.

Great Show
Love the stories, humor and information on this podcast. We love binging it on long road trips.

Relatable and engaging
I’ve listened to my fair share of climbing pods and this is by far my favorite. Ryan is a weekend warrior with a family and a 9-5 who loves climbing. This makes it way more fun for me, a fellow obsessed climber with a regular life, to listen to than a pod with only pros. Especially when he gets into the nitty gritty with coaches about training. In my opinion, it’s much more useful than only listening to how pros train and climb. I find his interview structure really engaging and fun. Stop reading this review and give ‘er a listen!

Great show
Ryan is engaging and he strikes a balance between being personal and geeking out about climbing. Yes you’ll hear about hangboard protocols, but he’ll move on to a fun story before it gets dry as a kinesiology textbook. And yes you’ll hear about a guest’s childhood or the lack of diversity in the sport, but he’ll move on to their sick project before you feel like you’re listening to a therapy session. Going to far in either of these directions is the biggest failure of many of the climbing podcasts out there and Ryan beautifully threads the needle to make a fun, informative, entertaining, listenable show. Overall a great production, you can tell that Ryan is passionate about the details that differentiate great podcasts from the good ones.

Great podcast and host!
Ryan is a solid guy that I’ve had the opportunity to climb with at the gorge, super supportive partner with infectious enthusiasm and positivity! His podcast is the most well produced podcast in the climbing industry. He asks thought provoking questions and seeks out interesting and inspiring guests. Worth the listen and subscription!

Great podcast
Thoughtful and engaging content, professionally edited and cut with fantastic guests. There are plenty of climbing podcasts out there but this one is truly excellent. Ryan is an excellent host and strong interviewer. This is one of the few podcasts in the space that delivers on both cool stories and useful tips.

You’re going to love the struggle.
No really! It is not a struggle listening to these engaging interviews. Each week I’ve been excited to see who Ryan’s next guest is and have always found a fascinating climbers story to listen to. I listen to several climbing podcasts and this ones at the top of my list.

Such a great resource
A great show for climbers

Really enjoyable

Great information and fun vibe!
I just started going to a gym climbing. I am super awful at it but having fun and am usually terrified once I get five feet off the ground. This show is very inspirational and love hearing from these amazing athletes. Love it!

Leveling up with the Struggle!
This podcast dives deep with so many of my climbing heroes. I get so inspired and stoked to climb harder and smarter. Thanks for all your hard work putting this content together, Ryan!

The Struggle is Real
Excellent contribution to climbing content. I get my history from the Enormocast and my stoke from The Struggle.

Best climbing podcast I’ve ever found
I’ve listened to tons of climbing podcasts and the work this man puts into the editing, his presentation, his show structure, the content and his guests are top quality. You can tell he has a background in the entertainment industry. This podcast is helping me break into new grades this year.

The editing is great, and Ryan’s list of guests is insane. He gets the best climbers and coaches on the planet, and allows us to see the insights into their process

A great climbing podcast
I struggle at climbing all the time and this podcast makes me realize it’s fine and struggle only makes me stronger. I love all the episodes. I love learning about training, stories, tactics, and others’ experiences of projecting. This podcast has all of them.

Best climbing podcast around!
From everything from everything from the physical to the mental, this podcast has a little bit of everything! Ryan is a fantastic host and does a fantastic job interviewing some of the top names in climbing. Whether you’re looking for training advice or want to hear the behind the scenes behind hard sends from the pros, this show is a must listen to for all climbers!

Loving the most recent episodes!
I was enthralled with the Jordan Cannon episode about Cowboy Direct! I loved how he described that climb, it was as if I was listening to a book on tape. Amazing. I also loved the Nina Williams 2-part podcast. Really thought provoking and inspiring. Thanks for all you do Ryan.

Great content!
One of the best podcasts out there!

How I Start My Morning
This podcast is a must for climbers. Listening to the greats like Peter Croft or Hazel Findlay is super inspiring. I’m all in.
