In this video Steve discusses the Mental/Physical/Technical framework Climb Strong follows. This will be particularly useful for individuals who coach climbers, but any climber interested in progressing their ability will find benefit in this framework.
The Mental, Physical, and Technical aspects of rock climbing are all highly important to climbers trying to perform at their best. All too often we see athletes neglect one or more of these areas - pay attention to all these factors and you may be able to make big progress in your climbing ability without getting any stronger!
