Climbing Mental Games: How To Control Fear And Other Topics
Lattice Training Podcast
12/16/20 • 28 min
Following up from Maddy and Tom's "Mind Games" webinar, we've got them both sitting down on the Lattice Sofa discussing more of their experiences and advice on how to improve your head game in climbing. We thought we'd kick things off with a short story from each of them about when they'd got most scared - yup, they're definitely not immune to it!
From there, they both delve into some of their tips to improve as a trad climber, what things you can put into place to help your onsighting and what they do and recommend for staying calm under pressure. Last one - and it's one that comes up frequently - is how you deal with the dreaded resting ledge. Can you leave, should you leave, when to leave?!

20 Years of Elite Grip Strength: Eric Roussin
Lattice Training Podcast
04/09/22 • 41 min
In the Lattice Training podcast today we have another guest from the arm lifting world whose long term track record of training, competing and record breaking accomplishments is rarely rivalled across the grip strength sports. It’s rare that we get to interview someone who’s really been focusing on something so specific to climbing performance - AKA grip strength - for over 20 yrs.
Eric Roussin, is from Canada and has a long history of competitive arm wrestling, having started as a teenager in 1996 and has been competing in Grip Sports for just over 10 yrs. He won the Canadian overall National Title 5yrs in a row and also a gold medal in the World Arm Lifting Championships on the Rolling Thunder and has the world record on Napalms Nightmare and 2 arm thick bar lift.
Interestingly, Eric is a blend of competitor and historian so he’s got an incredible knowledge of what’s developed over time and an understanding of training and performance methodology, which at Lattice, we’re always interested to learn more about!
Check out in the show notes at the bottom, some really useful links provided by Eric, who kindly provided us all with some signposting to learn more on this front.
In today’s episode we covered:
- What got Eric into arm wrestling originally and his formative years of training.
- What he thinks about grip or hand strength in arm lifting and the repercussions for training methodology or approach.
- His thoughts on the differences between arm lifting and arm wrestling.
- How he trains for grip lifting, rather than grip pulling or hanging.
- Whether he does any cross-training.
- How important he thinks strength in the entire kinetic chain is. Are there any common “weak” links he sees?
- What does the grip sports community think of fingerboarding.
- What are the King Kong Grip Challenges.

Adam Ondra Repeats The World’s Hardest Trad Route
Lattice Training Podcast
03/16/24 • 57 min
In this episode, join host Tom Randall for an in-depth conversation with climbing legend James Pearson. James recently established ‘Bon Voyage’ (E12), a route he boldly suggests is the world's hardest trad climb, pushing the boundaries of difficulty and safety in the sport.
James Pearson is a household name in the climbing world, known for his ground-breaking first ascents like ‘The Walk of Life’ (E9), as well as ascents of some of the world's hardest sport climbs. Despite that, there has been controversy surrounding the grading in his earlier career.
Although his earlier efforts faced some controversy, with a few of his climbs like The Groove being downgraded after establishment. This criticism, which even included accusations of overgrading for media attention, forced James to re-evaluate the entire grading system.
The experience turned out to be a turning point for James. He spent years rebuilding his confidence and credibility as a climber, making significant ascents in Europe. This included repeating the downgraded ‘The Walk of Life’ and tackling other difficult routes like ‘Tribe’ (E11) and ‘Lexicon’ (E11 7a).
So when James established 'Bon Voyage' in France and felt it was his hardest route yet, he initially hesitated to propose a grade. However, after witnessing other accomplished climbers struggle on the route, James decided to propose the world's first E12 once again, ten months after his initial ascent. This episode dives into James' experience with 'Bon Voyage' and the lessons learned from his past grading controversies, but also the validation James received when none other than Adam Ondra, successfully repeated the route and agreed with the E12 grade.
In this episode, James dives deep into:
Sharing ‘Bon Voyage’ with Adam Ondra
- What makes this route unlike anything else out there
- Adam Ondra’s approach to risk
- What beta Adam Ondra used for this epic route
- Who else is trying ‘Bon Voyage’
- The evolution of trad grades and why did James propose the controversial E12 grade for ‘Bon Voyage’
This episode is a must-listen for any climber interested in the cutting edge of trad climbing, the ever-evolving world of grading, and the unique perspectives of two climbing legends!

Common Mistakes For Endurance Training: Part 2 With Tom Randall
Lattice Training Podcast
01/29/22 • 19 min
Part 2 of the "Endurance Mistakes" of Climbing Training!
Endurance training is a foundational element of performance preparation or training for almost every athlete, no matter what their discipline. Boulderers, sport climbers and trad climbers should all be completing phases of endurance training during their year. What is also common across these disciplines, is a consistent set of mistakes that climbers typically make when completing this type of training.
In part two of this podcast, Tom Randall talks about the "Style" aspect of endurance work which encompasses both grip types and terrain angle. Both of these factors in your endurance training will affect the outcomes in technical, psychological and physical performance or adaptation.
Main grip types you want to consider:
Micro edges (less than 10mm)
Mid-sized edge (20-30mm)
Pinches
Slopers, big open holds
Pockets
Main terrain angles to train on:
Slab
Vertical
Steep up to 30 degrees
Steep 30-60 degrees
Roof
Technical outcomes:
1. Lack of skill or technique in using particular grip types. Finger, hand and wrist positioning as well as body position especially with things like slopers etc.
2. Lack of movement efficiency appropriate to the terrain angle. Movement on a slab is not the same as a 45 degree wall!
3. Low skill set in hold-specific or angle-specific rests.
4. Under developed technique in pacing for particular terrain angles.
Psychological outcomes:
1. Not enough familiarity or exposure to specific holds or angles. Impacts confidence, anxiety levels and state management.
2. Likelihood of lower onsight ability that fitness or technical ability should dictate.
3. Problem solving skills for terrain type underdeveloped. Will affect onsight and redpoint grade.
Physical:
1. Terrain-specific mobility/flexibility and also finger-hand-wrist-forearm ROM appropriate to grip type.
2. Focusing volume of training on the wrong terrain type will under-develop the muscle groups specific (and limiting) to the terrain you do want to perform on.
