How to Approach the Different Angles of Climbing

In this episode, I talk with TrainingBeta Coach, Alex Stiger, about the differences between the different angles of rock climbs:

  • slab
  • vertical
  • slightly steep (less than 30 degrees)
  • standard steep (30-45 degrees)

We go over our own experience and mindset around each angle of climbing, what skills are involved with each, how to strength train for each, and mindset issues that come up around all of them.

This is a lovely little exploration into the nuances of all of these different angles of climbing, and once again, Alex came prepared with a detailed outline of information that’s usable right away and interesting to listen to. She truly is such a keen observer of our sport.
