Description

Granite has shaped climbing history — from Yosemite to crags around the world. In this episode, we’re joined by coach Kris Hampton of the Power Company Podcast to unpack why granite feels so damn hard, how to get better at it, and what makes it such a cornerstone of climbing.

note from Kris: My favorite is 2 3/8 with the 3 hole bar and standard texture grip. The bar doesn’t fit a regular carabiner but I like the way it rolls better than the d ring version.
