When asked: "How are you fitting climbing in around the book tour?" Alex responds with:
"I’m not. It sucks. I was hangboarding in the hotel stairwell today. I roped it to a pipe.
Normally I travel with a portable pull-up bar that goes into a doorframe, and I hang my hangboard off it, but that requires a standard size doorframe. All hotels have their own thing, and this one didn’t have anything remotely close [to fitting]. So then I found some pipes and did a whole training session hanging off of them. It really makes you feel like a weirdo, being this shirtless dude in the stairwell maxing on small edges while housekeeping walks by. It was pretty ghetto. "
I been there Alex!
