In this episode, I’m joined by Conrad Caddy to explore the deeper story behind his rapid progression in climbing, including his recent ascent of Superman 8B after only around three years in the sport.

Rather than reducing the conversation to talent, strength or genetics, we dig into what that kind of progression actually feels like from the inside: obsession, pressure, identity, movement learning, failure, social media, and the emotional cost of improving quickly.

We also talk about how Conrad approaches hard moves, micro-beta, frustration, consistency, and what climbers can learn from his process without simply trying to copy the outcome.
