  • Unbearable narcissistic blabbering

    I’ve tried so so many times to find value in Horst, however, I just can’t take him. An hr podcast will contain about 2 minutes of substance. The rest is just Horst endlessly talking about the basic point over and over again.

  • Excellent

    Very good podcast about climbing and training. It has helped me on many long car journeys and I always discover something new.

    As an older climber and boulderer, I can also put many of his tips into practice. Thank you very much!

  • Worlds deadliest drinking game

    Worlds deadliest drinking game... Take a shot every time Coach Hörst talks about how long he’s been climbing or how good he is at coaching.

In the first minute he says everything he wants to say and for nineteen more minutes he repeats everything he’s already said. “And again” “like I said” “not to beat a dead... more

I want to be the heaviest person to climb V10 and the same thing with football, people didn't think I was going to be able to start or make an NFL and I played nine, you know?
#118 - Wes Schweitzer - Training to Boulder V10 (Pro Football Player Turned Climber!)
Q: How did you first get introduced to climbing?
I met a trainer outside of the NFL and he's like, yeah, you just got to get on a climbing wall, pull on some different poles, different shapes, slope or stuff like that. I was pain free within five minutes.
#109: Alex Megos Interviews Eric Hörst (What?!)
Q: What do you think about ketogenic diet? Is that something that's possible for climbing?
A ketogenic diet might have some health benefits but it's not recommended for climbers due to the need for carbohydrates for the anaerobic energy system.
