On Episode 327 of the Enormocast, I sit down with climber, coach, and entrepreneur, Karly Rager. Karly got a soft start to climbing in her home State of South Dakota when she went top-roping with a family friend. As many before her, she was hooked in an instant. But it wasn’t until she was pursuing … Continue reading "Enormocast 327: Karly Rager – Days of Glory"
On episode 326, I connect from Colorado to Chamonix to hear from French photographer and expedition climber, Julia Cassou.

During the race, Cole became its … Continue reading "Enormocast 323: Cole Brauer – Every Day the Sea"
On Episode 322 of the Enormocast, we sit down with early climbing content creator, Beau Martino. Beau caught the Tiktok wave out of the 2020 pandemic by creating mostly one-person skits spoofing climbing and dirtbag life.

On Episode 321 of the Enormocast, I sit down at the Michigan Ice Fest with dry tooling maven, Katie McKinstry Stylos.
