0:00.0	Hello, friends, and welcome to the Nugget climbing podcast. I've got another patron spotlight episode for you today. My guest today is Jeremy
0:09.8	Kiner. Jeremy is based in Louisville, Kentucky. He's a boulder and sport climber. He's got a full-time job and is a
0:17.2	weekend warrior and has still managed to climb pretty hard. He's climbed some V10s and 513Bs.
0:22.9	It's been climbing for about 15 years and it was fun to hear about his progression.
0:27.2	Some of the things that he's experimented with and tried.
0:30.5	Yeah, Jeremy had a lot of great insights.
0:32.0	I really enjoyed the conversation.
0:33.8	Jeremy, as you'll hear in this conversation, has been trying the Grines program, which is the finger training program that I wrote for the Nug.
0:41.3	He's done a couple cycles now, and it sounds like it's gone pretty well.

1:08.6	method of training versus the other, et cetera, et cetera.
1:11.7	So I think that should answer a lot of the common questions that I get and be a better,
1:15.8	more valuable resource for you guys.
1:18.4	So yeah, I wanted to have that done by the time this episode came out, but I'm still working
1:22.2	on it.
1:22.5	I still have some videos to film.
1:24.9	If you are interested in trying out the grinds program for yourself, just head to
1:29.8	the nuggetclimbing.com. You'll automatically get a pop-up, just put in your email and name,
1:35.1	and you'll get the free PDF. And then that way you'll be on my list and I can notify you when
