The No Rope Show

Thanks to the Vampire Professor himself for sitting down and sharing his story and crazy facts about the origins of Vampires. We also talk a lot about climbing (duh) and the PCA Comps!! We had a few technical difficulties while recording this one so you'll have to forgive our clippy-ness in some sections. Had this episode stored in the vault (which is now empty) so here you go! Link to watch Sessions on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqzGq1RC-4k&t=2421s  

Just two pimps in this one, no hoes. We're excited to do this in a more conversational style. There's only so many old dudes we can interview. Peace, Love, Little Bun

Our favorite north idahoan Italian step father returns to talk about his checkered past, projecting truly at your limit, and Madrock finger condoms. The good boys even talk about mental health for like three seconds. Glorious podcasting happening here. Prepare to be blown way away back to the silly little place that you came from. 

Dave and Sam go waaay back. Like wicked far back kid. Enjoy hearing these two catch up after not seeing each other in a few years. It is glorious to behold. Nathan was absent for this one but his laughter bellows on in our memories. Link to read Dave's writing!https://www.climbing.com/byline/dave-wetmore/

Your ears will adjust. Thank you Pete for all your hard work and for joining us for a great conversation about family, injuries, developing, and getting satisfaction out of life! Pete making the first ascent of Mask of God V13 in Joe's Valleyhttps://vimeo.com/194264092Pete nabbing the FA of Show Your Scars V14 in Ogden, Utahhttps://vimeo.com/205825693

Samuel and Nathan take a virtual seat to converse with Katie Lamb about her recent bouldering conquests. The trio also expeditiously provides discourse on the subjects of having fun and summer camp hierarchy. 

Sam's been gone for a month climbing in Castle Hill, New Zealand. Now he won't shut up about it. Thankfully, traveling Kiwi, Alec McCallum, was around to indulge him a little. Alec has been climbing in the Castle Hill Basin since he was just a wee lad. Now, he's a grown man who buys vans from failed magicians in order to facilitate his need climb rocks. Enjoy!PS - Nate was absent for this one, we missed him dearly. 

Our good friend Nate Williams joined us to engage in silly to moderately serious conversation. Lend us your ears as the boys discuss depression, Return of the Sleepwalker, and anime boobies. 

This week we talk with one of the most genuine and hilarious people that we know. Doug Ianuario is a dedicated athlete, father, and friend. Also his meat is of astronomical proportions. RIP Juice Wrld.

Jared Roth is the current owner if the classic climbing hold brand, Pusher. In this episode, Jared talks about the history of Pusher, the climbing hold industry, and shaping classic hold sets. The boys also have their first #ad for the 10th episode! The ad is definetly real and not fake. 

Surprise! Alex Johnson has been climbing and competing at a high level for over 20 years. In this episode we dive into her upbringing, how climbing competitions have changed, FFA's, and..... you guessed it..... other stuff too. Fritz demands to be included and Nate is still Sam's uncle! Enjoy losers!

You may know Mike Call from such classic climbing films as Best of the West, Big Game, and Frequent Flyers. These films are foundational for many climbers and have inspired multiple generations. We're talking some real 'best of all time' type shit. Please enjoy the content and BEWARE OF SHARKS!'Best of the West' and 'Big Game' available on YouTube!!

Tristan Chen is a climber and fantastic human from Massachusetts. In this episode, the boys reminisce about the past, talk about Tristan's experience with Leukemia, and chat about why Tristan doesn't think that Keenan Takahashi dresses well. Sam disagrees. THE SUPER VILLAIN HAS ARRIVED. Please excuse our sub-par audio for the first 20 minutes. It's gets better. It's Sam's fault. 

OMG Nate has a foot fetish? Absolutely. What's also true is Michaela Kiersch is an all-around great human being and we appreciate her sitting down with us to discuss sending La Rambla, growing up in Chicago, and finding balance in her busy life. The boys are sleepy on this one, Michaela holds the episode together. Praise be!

Sam's stepdad Mike joins the boys in chatting about growing up in Idaho, a recent chipping controversy, and potential that OnlyFans has to send climbing into the stratosphere! Strap in dummies! Also, Nate forgets how to spell George. But it's ok, we still love him.

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Eric Zschiesche. Eric has been climbing/bouldering for nearly 50 years and is in it for the love of the game! From bouldering in the 1970s, to risky solos on bridges, this one is a real treat. 

Just the two boys on this one! Sam and Nate talk about their love of reality tv, followed by Nate chronicling his past struggles of addiction and recovery. As a special treat, Nate talked directly into a plastic cup of boba tea for 30 minutes. Also Andy makes an appearance, whoever that is.  

Sam stays up way past his bedtime to chat with Anthony Chertudi. Anthony is known for developing many classic boulder problems around Utah such as Zero (V12), Spiritwalker (V13/14), and Black #1 (V12). But climbing aside, Anthony's harrowing experience with Lyme Disease is the topic of discussion for today. Prepare yourself as shit does indeed get real. 

Welcome to The No Rope Show! For the inaugural episode, Nate and Sam sit down with Ronnie Jenkins to discuss the history of southern bouldering, Ronnie's personal climbing history, and his advice for younger climbers. It's a hoot of a time. Nate laughs a lot, Sam talks too much, and Ronnie doesn't know what to do with his hands.
