She's been an outspoken advocate of strength training for years now and so there's nobody better to talk to about the dark arts of the gym gym than Natasha. She knows a thing or two about both worlds, we speak about her experience as a professional climber 20 years ago, and how an injury and a lack of good information led her into a cycle of injury which nearly ended her climbing career completely. She subsequently found strength training and power lifting and feels it has been transformative in...2025-07-022h 08The Careless Talk Climbing PodcastE153: Using danger for clicks, Aidan's hardest climb of the season and Sam forgets his shoesHey all!
