#100: The 10 Secrets to Climbing Harder!

ERIC J. HöRST
About this episode

To celebrate the 100th episode of the T4C podcast, I wanted to serve up a powerful, comprehensive, yet easily digestible and actionable list of things you can do today to improve your climbing.

No matter your current experience or level of climbing, I guarantee that you will find this episode to be a tour de force of things you can do to accelerate your rate of improvement...and increase your confidence, joy, and experience while climbing. 

Therefore, a more accurate title of this podcast might be..."The 10 not-so-secrets secrets to accelerating improvement and climbing your very best!"

I've got a lot of territory to cover in the next hour, so let's get started!
