TBP 226: How Bridget Roell Went from 13a to 14a with Coach Matt Pincus

This episode is a bit different in that Coach Matt Pincus is the interviewer/coach and I (Neely) am just in it to introduce Matt and his guest, Bridget Roell. Bridget is a long-time climber who was working her first 5.13b when she first reached out to Matt a few years ago to coach her.

Through the training and tactics they employed, she was able to send her first 5.13b's, her first 5.13c's, and her first 5.14a, which was her long-term goal. In this conversation, they talk about the changes they made in her physical training and her redpointing tactics that helped her the most. They also discuss her goals going forward and help her with her training right now.

This one was super inspirational for me, and it really highlights Bridget's commitment to putting herself out there with her climbing and Matt's ability to figure out exactly what any level of climber needs to improve.
