Excellent Format , Content
I benefit a lot from the thoughtful guests on Ryan’s show as well as the awesome format and questions pertinent to my own climbing development. Highly recommend checking out this podcast if climbing is your jam. The Struggle is real.

Great!
I really enjoy the conversations and format of this podcast. There are always good takeaways and interesting things in each episode.

So much info!!
I’m a fairly new but obsessed climber. The content is very clear and easy to understand for all levels. I seriously learned so much listening to this podcast. Never boring.

Ads
Very good podcast, but still so much ads even when paying for it? Really annoying.

Awesome listen
Great interviews with interesting climbers of all disciplines. Great for working out and providing psyche. Ryan as a host is clear, articulate, and gets into the nitty gritty of an interview (but sprinkles some humour and jokes in there to keep it spicy) would highly recommend!!

The stoke is real
I’m an avid listener of climbing podcasts and this pod is on par with the best of them. From the music to the questions this podcast checks all the boxes. None of the other podcasts get me as stoked to climb as much as this one does. Keep up the good work Mr. Devlin. I’m excited to see what’s next to come.

Very Informative
The Struggle provides wonderful insight into the struggles and trials of the sport’s elite. Topics include training, nutrition, work/life balance, as well as the mental approach to climbing. Learn from the best climbers and coaches in the sport by listening to this podcast.

Great Listen!
Very inspiring. I know we all have doubt, but love the positive vibes of this show.

Best climbing podcast out there!
I love this show! The whole concept is so refreshing and inspirational. It’s not just about the big achievements but about all these things elite climbers have to deal with, just like us amateurs. I find it really cool to hear where the climbers struggle and what they do to overcome this struggle! Can absolutely recommend this podcast and especially the interview with Emily Harrington and Lynn Hill!

Love it!
I just started climbing in my local gym in June of 2023. I am from Louisiana and there isn’t much to climb outside this far south besides your local climbing gym. Having had a background in sports training and performance training, I have been looking for a podcast that gets straight to business and asks the elite in climbing the major questions. I find super help and am glad I have found The Struggle Climbing Podcast. Thanks Phil B.

Struggling for ratings? Not you 😀
Great podcast and great to hear that the pro's have their struggles too ❤️🧗‍♀️

I can’t wait for the next episode!
I found the struggle when looking for podcast about climbing. Iv been hooked ever since and look forward to every new episode that comes out. The intro is my favorite part Iv recommended this podcast to a bunch of my friends and they also love it!

Top quality podcast
From beginning to end, the struggle climbing show podcast is informative and entertaining! It is interesting to hear about how diverse struggle is throughout the Climbing community and how individuals overcome these obstacles.

Insightful content about climbing from the pros
I really enjoy anything related to climbing, especially when it’s so well produced. The podcast offers a refreshing perspective from the best climbers in North America (hopefully the world, one day). We think climbing comes naturally to them so it’s interesting to learn where they struggle and how they improve. Ryan Devlin does a great job as the interviewer, making the guests open up about their struggles in a respectful environment.

I’m hooked! What is my new favorite podcast!
I found out about The Struggle PodcastA couple of months ago and listen to everything that was available within a few hours. This show is absolutely awesome! I listen to a lot of Climbing podcasts and this one is up there in my top three. Easy to listen to and as a relatively new climber of three years I am learning a boatload. Ryan seems like a cool dude and I look forward to listening to a lot more episodes.

Awesome failures
I’ll tell ya it’s not too often you get to hear an extensive insight on the pro’s shortcomings and struggles. The power of learning through failure is essential for growth! & this podcast is doing it right.

Very Insightful
I have loved listening to this podcast. The conversations are vulnerable and insightful and have great things for all kinds of climbers!

A fast favorite
I really appreciate the deliberate format of this show! Ryan’s podcast is different from the other options out there, and the structured conversations are a great way to compare climbers’ approaches and experiences.

Would highly recommend!!
I listened to this podcast for the first time the other day when I saw that Tommy Caldwell was on it, and it was fantastic!! I’m currently listening to the episode with Alex Honnold and then I have Kevin Jorgeson’s episode queued which I’m very excited about!! I absolutely love Ryan as a host, the pace is excellent and I just love the way he speaks!! I think I’ll be finished all the episodes in no time #obsessed

Insightful far beyond the obvious
This is a great podcast. Ryan interviews many climbers you have probably heard from before, but manages to make the interviews unique and truly insightful. Ryan is beyond prepared and asks questions focused more on motivations and purpose than just what hangboard protocol someone is using.

Great podcast!!
I just started listening to this podcast and am really excited to follow along. I love being able to hear how world class athletes train and how they work through their own struggles. Ryan asks so many great questions that many of us wish we could ask our favorite athlete! Thanks so much for opening these windows of insight and experience to the every day climber. I’m hooked.

Great podcast for all levels of climbers
Learning so much for all climbing experts through their personal journey and how they overcome all the plateaus. A podcast for all climbers who are struggling, doesn’t matter which level are you.

Awesome
Just listen to the first episode, and I love it. Can’t wait to check the next one

An absolute must subscribe!
This podcast is really entertaining and provides an awesome insight into climbing from pros, I honestly never expected a podcast to help me improve my climbing but this one has !

Amazing!
Loving this podcast. So many different perspectives and stories, and something to learn from all of them!

#1 climbing podcast
This one beats all other climbing podcasts, hands down. The host is a very good interviewer and guides the conversations very well, keeping us all well informed and entertained throughout. It’s very interesting to get so many different climber’s perspectives on nutrition, training, and the passion for climbing. Keep up the excellent work!

I love the struggle
Not much to say here except glory — I love the theme of asking super rad inspiring climbers about their relationship with struggle. I love the questions, the guests so far, and the climbing puns 🙌 Do yourself a favor and queue all the episodes up! We could all use more conversations about struggle.

What I listen on my way to the gym
I love this podcast. Ryan makes very cool questions that end up in remarkable conversations with the guests. I look forward to each episode. It is weird to relate to the guests because I feel they are beyond human, but this format shows us their human side and what you can relate to.

Fresh take on a saturated market
There are a ton of Climbing podcasts out there, the struggle offers a unique take and insight on an another wise over talked about subject!

Love it
Amazing guests and conversation. My new favourite climbing pod.
