“We work on multiple fronts to protect climbing areas, with acquisitions a key component of that strategy,” Thorne says. “We buy land because sometimes that’s what we have to do to save America’s climbing.”

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.

Very pleased with how this knit chalk bag turned out.It's been in the works for a while. The knitting wasn't an issue, but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to sewing and I was sure I would mess it up. Happy to say, I will be using it while on the wall tomorrow.Pattern is Cabled Chalk Bag by AC Knits.#Knitting #Climbing
