Ep. 49: Ethan Salvo - Obsessed with the Rock (Canada's Rising Boulderer)
Friday Jan 15, 2021
Friday Jan 15, 2021
Ethan Salvo has become one of the strongest rock climbers in Canada before he even finished high school. His determination to do the hardest boulder problems in Niagara Glen, Canada brought him to the attention of the climbing media including stories in Gripped Magazine. Now he has the distinction of putting up the hardest boulder problem in Ontario (Rite of Passage Low V14) which he did in the midst of the Covid pandemic.
We talk about his background, how he got into climbing, what it takes to climb at this level and some of his future goals. His approach to training and laser focus sets him apart from people who just enjoy climbing. A handful of moves on a school bus sized rock that are so hard not even a handful of people each year can do them. Going back to the same spot repeatedly, failing over and over but each time gaining a bit of skill and knowledge until he finally succeeded. If you want to learn what it takes to do superhuman things you will learn a lot from Ethan.

What a long and strange year it has been. In this episode, we reflect on this past year, our reasons for starting the podcast and why we continue to do it today. Despite the weariness that has come from COVID, we are reinvigorated by the turn in direction we've taken with LiveWild Radio. We branched out from just our outdoor and adventure themes to the broader topic of personal growth and finding your passion. Such episodes include talking with other adventurers about a transgender's journey (Ep. 28 - Living Your Truth - Alex Vaillancourt) to mental health (Ep. 27 - Face of Mental Health) to even fishing (Ep. 43 - Next Level Fishing - The Great White Knight). We hope you've enjoyed this year, even with its challenges and thank you for coming along on this journey with us. Here's to new adventures and making new friends in 2021.
