Condor Climbing Cast

Welcome to episode 15 of the Condor Climbing Cast! In this episode I chat with Adam Scott York. Adam Scott York is a wonderful human. His music captures emotion in such a powerful and truthful way. His music takes you on a story driven journey into the heart. We got to cover his creative process, the immense difficulties of expression and what Adam does to battle the dragon of writers or creative block. His passion and knowledge for music both as an artist and a fan was very obvious during this conversation. I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to episode 14 of the Condor Climbing Cast! In this episode I chat with Jordan Thompson. Jordan is committed to providing a musical space for others to enter into ceremony. The words ceremony and worship can be defined in many different ways, but Jordan's unique upbringing and background brings completely new meaning to these words. He plays in the band "Jake Wells" and takes the lead in his newest band "Older Brother" - with his two siblings Brooke and Jake. Mentor, leader, community builder and artist are just some of the ways I would describe Jordan. I loved this conversation... I hope you do too!

Welcome to Episode 13 of the Condor Climbing Cast! Grady Fitzgerald is back! I love talking to Grady because we can always dive deep into the nitty gritty of climbing. This one goes deep - not just in depth of knowledge, but emotional depth as well. It was so awesome hearing how he has acclimated into his role as head coach of the RoKC Climbing Team. In this conversation we cover being vulnerable with your feelings on and off the wall, positive - even audible self talk and curiously engaging when things get difficult. Grady mentions a video of Ethan Pringle climbing "Jumbo Love" 5.15b - check it out...

Tim has a wide range of skills that include a Master's Degree in music composition; accomplished ice climber, mountaineer, rock climber, web developer and happy father of two!

There were a few audio issues throughout the first part of the conversation, but it clears up near the middle. I hope you enjoy!
