Thea and Cece are some of the most notable climbers in the competitive circuit. Last year, in Salt Lake City, I had the privilege to talk with these two amazing ladies. We discussed the realities of being a high-level athlete and still trying to build a life for yourself outside of climbing. It was amazing to hear their thoughts about the sport and visions for their lives. I hope you guys enjoy! As always, please follow, like, and subscribe. Also, let me know in the comments your thoughts on the episode!

When Wild Bill and I first met, it was bromance at first sight. I was lured in by his illustrious mustache, and then his personality sealed the deal once we got talking. Wild Bill is a downhill ski youth program coach in Salt Lake City. I love talking shop with coaches and discussing how they interact with and train their athletes. No one's got it all figured out, and everyone has a unique touch. Enjoy the episode and special edition duet! I'm now considering a professional singing career...what are your thoughts?

Ellis Whitson started coaching and climbing well over a decade ago. In that time, he cultivated the skills as a routesetter, national and international level coach, and all-around nerd of rock climbing. His passion for climbing only matches his passion for coaching. Today's episode discussed everything from route setting, the 2021 Olympics, and the wonders and mystery of whiskey before this staple of the DFW climbing community moves on to Salt Lake City.

This episode is with a Texas-born legend whom I greatly admire. Jeff Jackson is one of the most prolific route developers in American history. He has taught climbing and yoga throughout his life and was the Editor for Rock and Ice magazine. Currently residing in Hawaii, he’s developing crags when not teaching at a university. It was a joy to dive into how Texans have contributed to climbing and his passion for bolting.
