About Eric Hörst

Eric Hörst is a well-known climbing trainer, having written some of the first books on the topic, including How to Climb 5.12, Training for Climbing, and Maximum Climbing. He's a 50-year old climber who still climbs as hard as ever (5.13 redpoints) due to his smart training methods, which he's catered to himself to fit his mature body. His 2 boys are living proof of his training methods, regularly climbing 5.14's by the time they were each 11 years old. Eric keeps an active blog on training for climbing, aptly named www.trainingforclimbing.com. He also writes regularly for www.nicros.com.

What we talked about:
  • How to most efficiently train for different kinds of climbing
  • How his training has evolved over the years, and how he learned so much about it
  • Whether or not we should run to train for routes (the burning question)
  • How his kids train for climbing, and how they've become such balanced athletes
  • When to train and when to climb, and how to not overdo it
