Video: Strength Testing with Margo Hayes at Kraft Bouldering

Margo Hayes stopped by Germany’s famed Cafe Kraft training gym for a test of her abilities. Joined by Alex Megos, coach Patrick Matros explains the value of understanding strengths and weaknesses.

Hayes became the first woman to climb a 5.15a with her ascent of La Rambla earlier this year.

In late September, she climbed Biographie/Realization for her second of the grade. More on that here.

Hayes says in the video, “I think mentally we limit ourselves much more than physically. If you want push yourself and reach your full potential you have to focus on what’s going on upstairs.”
