The Struggle Climbing Show - Dave MacLeod: Part I

The Struggle Climbing Show

11/17/23 • 79 min

Elite climber Dave MacLeod shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game

-

Hailing from the highlands of Scotland, Dave has methodically worked his way up to the highest levels of the sport, and sits at the very top when it comes to heady trad ascents on the notoriously poorly protected gritstone in his backyard. He has bouldered up to V15 (8C), climbed 5.14d (9a), free soloed up to 14a (8b+), and put up E11 trad. His First Ascents are too many to name, but most notably he put up the world’s first E11 trad route, Rhapsody, as well as Echo Wall which might even be harder. From boulders to big walls, rock to ice to mixed... Dave has a truly unique ability to zero in on very hard moves, with very scary exposure, and systematically break it down to a manageable process until the thing can be done. Beyond his performance on rock, Dave has been contributing to the sport for decades now, as a researcher, author, blogger, and YouTuber. He holds an undergrad degree in sports science and physiology, and dual masters, in exercise science and human nutrition. He knows his stuff and we dive deeeeep in this two-parter!

04/20/22 • 50 min

Elite climber Alex Johnson shares her struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game.

-

Alex Johnson is one of the most badass boulderers out there, and she just keeps getting stronger. She’s won Nationals 5 times and has 2 World Cup gold medals, she has bouldered 100 v10s (what?!) and famously sent the insanely tough V14, The Swarm. What she experienced AFTER she finally sent that life goal project will probably surprise you. AJ has dialed in her training to a science and she pulls the curtain back on that in our chat, along with so much more. Beyond climbing, Alex is advancing LGBTQ+ issues as an ambassador with Athlete Ally, and has helped to develop some really cool giveback products with Evolve and Athletic Brewing. As Alex shares, she goes 100% or not at all... and that is clear in this interview.

01/13/23 • 53 min

Elite climber Mary Eden (aka Tradprincess) shares her struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game.

-

Mary Eden is perhaps most known for her crack and off-width climbing at an elite level, but as you’ll hear in our chat, she doesn’t consider herself an "off-width climber"... she’s a climber. A climber who seeks discomfort and charges headlong into styles that challenge her. Bouldering, sport climbing, crack and off-width... she gets after all of it, and at an incredibly high level. Just a few months ago Mary accomplished a life goal when she became the first woman to send Necronomicron on gear, an insanely cool 100ft 14a horizontal roof crack in the White Rim. Mary is humble, honest, and an incredible example of what can be accomplished with focused hard work, an open mind, and a seemingly bottomless well of stoke. I think you’ll find this conversation very relatable, and very motivating.
