This episode has been in the making for years. On this episode, our good friend and head route setter at Planet Granite Sunnyvale, Adriel Rodriguez, joins us to talk about his passion for all things climbing. We talk about how he designs his own training, how coaching one sport translates to another, and what still drives his passion for Climbing after starting over 12 years ago.
