  • Excellent Podcast

    Neely has put together an excellent podcast for years, she was one of the first in the podcast space to start spreading the word about how to train for climbing, and interviewing interesting people, she continues to put together high quality podcasts that are just the right length, none of this ramble on forever podcasts that everyone seems to put out these days. She is great at asking good questions that are relevant to listeners. Thanks for all your hard work through the years Neely!

  • There is so much freely shared resources on this podcast. Neely interviews a lot of great guests and can be very vulnerable herself. Highly recommended for climbers (and also parents of climbers). I finish episodes always wanting to contact Neely to say thanks again.

TBP 317: How to Overcome Climbing Plateaus with Alex Stiger
Q: What are practical steps to get out of a plateau?
Identify the type of plateau, zoom out to reassess your overall approach, and implement a structured plan that emphasizes consistency, specific goals, and deliberate practice over chasing more volume or higher intensity without a plan.
TBP 317: How to Overcome Climbing Plateaus with Alex Stiger
Q: What is a plateau in climbing and why does it happen?
A plateau is a phase where progress stalls across different dimensions (psychology, strength, grade, or mental bravery). It happens because gains often come in waves and due to factors like training load, motivation, and adaptation, not due to a single cause.
