Ep. 54: How to Start Outdoor Rock Climbing with Joe Castillo

If you have ever wanted to start rock climbing but didn't know how then this episode is just right for you. We are joined by Joe Castillo, an expert climber and creator of the Climb Life app. Climb Life is the Uber of the climbing world, letting you hook up with expert climbing guides in an area to take you out climbing. This can be going to your local crag or hook you up when travelling to a new area.

We talk to Joe about how he started climbing and how he suggests you get into it. He has climbed all over the world and still has the stoke of someone who just discovered climbing yesterday. From the local climbing gym to finding mentors we have a great talk about all things climbing. Climbing is one of our favorite sports and will become one of yours if you give it a try.

Give a read to our companion article on How To Start Rock Climbing.
