Evan Hau is a pro climber, but most Americans still don’t know his name. He’s the first Canadian to climb 5.15a, and swears his success comes from consistently honing his strengths (and mostly ignoring his weaknesses). In this episode, we chat about how he balances pushing his limits, with his tutoring business, and the process of climbing his first 15a, Sacrifice. We cover the magic of the Bow Valley—the epic limestone crags near Canmore, Alberta—as well as what happens when Adam Ondra comes to town to try to flash your proj. We discuss trying hard on long trips, and his send of Death of Villains last year, his second 15a. Plus, we chat about aging as a climber, with his 40th birthday just around the corner.

Mon annulaire droit a fait un énorme crac que des gens à 8 mètres de moi ont entendu, pendant que je tenais une inversée sur un bloc ce midi.
C'est douloureux mais pas une douleur insoutenable pour l'instant. Et j'arrive à plier le doigt normalement.
J'espère que je me suis rien cassé ^^'
