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.

Ep. 30 - ADK Ranger - Scott van Laer
Sunday Mar 15, 2020
Sunday Mar 15, 2020
When you want to learn about safety in the backcountry there is no one better to talk to than a forest ranger. In this episode, we sit down with Adirondack Forest Ranger Scott van Laer about the Adirondack High Peaks, search and rescues and how you can be safer in the mountains. Scott has been a ranger for 20+ years so he has seen a lot of changes in the traffic to the mountains and the increased demand on the rangers. We talk about how people can help advocate for more rangers to match the increased traffic the park is seeing. Plus you get to hear about why peeing on each other isn’t a good way to stay warm in the cold.
