E187: Zach Galla - An incredible run of form, discussions on mindset, physicality and confidence

from The Careless Talk Climbing Podcast · host Sam Prior & Aidan Roberts

Wow, what form Zach Galla is in! Recent sends of Hypnotised Minds, Devilution, Return of the Sleepwalker and Shaolin, could be the most impressive run of ascents ever recorded. We really wanted to try and discern what could have led to such form, is it a mentality thing or improvements in strength? What is the optimum level of confidence for repeat sending?

All these questions and more are at least partially answered or vaguely talked about in the podcast! If you're enjoying the podcast and would like to support us, please consider checking out our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show
