About Matt Pincus

In this interview, I talk with Matt Pincus about returning to climbing after a break during the pandemic. Matt is our in-house Remote Climbing Coach at TrainingBeta, and he’s had an extraordinary return to climbing himself since the pandemic lockdowns, having already sent a couple 5.14’s. Matt lives in Jackson, Wyoming, and he sees clients remotely from all over the world and helps them with their physical training and mental tactics for climbing.

In this episode, we examine how to go about easing back into climbing in a safe and enjoyable way. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by fear or frustrated by getting easily pumped after not climbing for a long time. We discuss how to deal with these things so we can all get back to having fun climbing outside (or in the gym) again soon.
