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. 42 - Outdoors for Newbies
Thursday Sep 17, 2020
Thursday Sep 17, 2020
A side effect of Covid has been a dramatic increase in new outdoors people. When you aren't allowed to travel and do your usual summer activities it is natural that people will head outside where it is easy to social distance. With this influx of new outdoor users come a number of new challenges. In this episode we aim to help educate people on principles of Leave No Trace, animal issues and how to poop in the woods. No one is born knowing how to behave in the outdoors so give a listen and learn how to be a good steward of our wild places.

Not all adventures are in the forest. In this episode we talk to Matt Code who built his very own earth ship in Collingwood, Ontario. After an afternoon of mountain biking we sat down in his dining room to talk about what an earth ship is and what it is like to have a low impact sustainable home. From reusing rainwater and storing the heat of the sun in the walls to generating electrical power with solar panels, his home is home is as close to being off the grid as it can while still being located in town. Interested in passing on the skills and knowledge he has gained, Matt has built a community both online and in real life of people interested in learning how to build their own sustainable homes and grow their own food.
Give a listen to learn how our homes can change our environmental impact.

Ep. 40: Ontario Climber Reg Smart - How Passion Finds a Way
Monday Aug 17, 2020
Monday Aug 17, 2020
A suburban kid growing up in Etobicoke, Reg Smart was sort of a lost boy muddling through school and getting in fights but then found rock climbing. He got into climbing not with the intention of leaving his mark but because he loved it. Along the way he became one of the most influential climbers on the scene. Strong and bold is how he climbs and how he lives his life.
More than 40 years later, he's still climbing. He's taken that passion and used it to fuel all of his pursuits from climbing and Olympic weight lifting to making beer and growing his own vegetables. We sit down at Reg's dining room table to talk about his start in climbing and how passion still drives his pursuits.
**GIVEAWAY Winner of Ontario Climbing's Niagara Escarpment Guide Books announced at the end of this episode. Enjoy!
