Event Schedule
- Performance Training Clinic with Mercedes Pollmeier, Momentum Sodo in Seattle, March 21, 2026
The team will be covering advanced aspects of training and the clinic is aimed at climbers with at least two years of experience.
- Steve Bechtel Presentation, CWA Summit, Salt Lake City, April 14, 2026
This talk explores how to design targeted workouts for strength, bouldering skill, and endurance, structuring group sessions, and adjusting volume and intensity to maximize results in training.
- Steve Bechtel Presentations, Canadian Climbing Medicine Symposium, Squamish BC, July 29-31, 2026
Steve will be presenting twice. One talk will be dissecting the argument between general and specific training, and how much “just climbing” is appropriate for optimal performance. His second presentation will focus on polarized energy system training (high/low), and why defocusing “power endurance” much of the year might benefit climbers.
