Records are falling. Beta is getting tweaked. We've entered the sub five second era of speed climbing. The athleticism is off the charts and the format is friendly to the viewing public. Despite that, what happens on the 15 meter speed wall seems to be a sideshow to the greater climbing community. How did speed climbing arrive at this moment? We are joined by legends Hans Florine, Jacky Godoffe, and Olympians Sam Watson, Piper Kelly and Emma Hunt.

We were incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to chat with Hans Florine and Liesbet Brickett. Two amazing individuals who are passionate about trying new things and Doing Hard Things, which is the name of the challenge program they created, to develop community, accountability, inspiration and so much more. The Do Hard Things Challenge encourages people do and try new things via a list given out at the start of they year, participants share their progress, pictures and stories as the year progresses. Here are Hans' and Liesbet's thoughts about life, growth and why they started DHT:We believe happiness lies in finding joy and satisfaction in whatever you do, no matter how easy or hard. It's not what you are doing but how you do it that matters. We are creating a community dedicated to living powerfully and joyfully by embracing, welcoming and even inviting in life's challenges and turning them into opportunities for growth. We are here to support you by connecting you to others pursuing excellence through daily, yearly and lifelong challenges, by traveling at your side as your DHT Coach and by inspiring your local community with DHT events and talks. In this episode we discuss some of the examples from the DHT list and how challenges are a very personal matter. What may be hard for one person is not necessarily going to be a challenge for someone else. That is the beauty of having lists and participating in communities such as this one. We have so much to gain and grow from in these experiences which range from writing nice letters to friends to lifting pounds and pounds of weights. Growth is the name of the game in life. And Liesbet and Hans talk about the necessity for living in that somewhat uncomfortable space to achieve that growth through out life. And yes it does get a little uncomfortable on the podcast for a minute here and there.

Hans Florine says, “That's what climbing is, is doing something that you couldn't previously do, whether it was last week or seconds ago. And so there's immediate reward in climbing for, 'Hey there's a problem in front of you, and it's just a problem.' And that's what life is. And we do something, change our body position, get another tool, and we move forward and we get past it.” Today, Yancy and Jarod talk with Hans about reaching for goals you can't accomplish yet, and how having fun means you're at your best. Today, you'll learn about: The people having the most fun are the best climbers Go out and find things to do and challenge yourself, because you can Finding something you can't do, but want to do, and working and learning until you accomplish it Hans Florine is a speed climber, professional speaker, author and thought leader in speed and efficiency.

Hans Florine talking about when he broke his legs 4 years ago, “I was out of view when I fell and broke my leg. He came around the corner and I was talking on the phone. And he's like, "What the F are you doing talking on the phone?" And I'm like, I'm talking to the Rangers. Why are you talking Rangers? We need a rescue. I've broken both of my legs, and he's just like, you you know, couldn't you, like, cry or scream or do something first before you just get to business of fixing it...

Less than six months after breaking both legs in a fall while climbing El Cap, Hans is up and back at it again all while sharing his spirit leading Diablo Rock Gym in Concord, CA.

THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS RACE! Featuring Brad Gobright and Jim Reynolds - the new record holders for the fastest time up The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, California. Their time: 2 hrs, 19 mins, & 44 seconds - shaving the nearly 4 mins off the previous record held by Hans Florine (also on this show), and Alex Honnold. In addition, we have a very special guest, the legendary John Long, who, along with Jim Birdwell and Billy Westbay, became the first team to ascend The Nose in a day - doing it just under 15 hours! What's amazing about this feat, is that it happened in 1975, before the invention of spring-loaded camming devices, sticky rubber shoes, or ultralight ropes. So you are in for a treat. Not only do we talk about the history of the World's Most Dangerous Race, we talk about the extraordinary risk these climbers are taking, and what it will take to break the 2-hour barrier. As well as what happened to Quinn Brett, the super talented climber that was seriously injured while attempting to break the women's record she once held. To donate money to Quinn's recovery efforts, please visit: https://www.youcaring.com/quinnbrett-980578 Note: Next episode will Feature the Woman's Race. Please LIKE and SHARE!

As I’m sure you’ve probably already heard, 31 year old Alex Honnold is the first person to free-solo El Cap in Yosemite early this month. That means he climbed a 3000 foot wall without a rope. This is really the stuff of hero movies. It’s a real life spiderman story. Hans recently broke his record of being the fastest climber up El Cap with Alex Honnold as his partner. So I’ve asked him to join me here on the real Wealth Show to talk about it and also to share some insights on how to be the best at what you do. And why being speedy can be important in business. It is certainly important in a seller’s market like today. You have to be quick to buy or you miss the deal. But you don’t want to be so quick that you miss the important steps. Obviously if he and Alex were not speedy and safe, they wouldn’t be here to talk about their adventures. Subscribe at: RealWealthShow.com

Daniel, founder of Tenkara USA, has been described as a "rock-climber disguised as a fly angler", but he is also a fly angler disguised as a rock-climber. In this episode Daniel discusses how he found his two big passions in life, rock-climbing and tenkara fly-fishing, as well as how they fit together and have inspired him to start Tenkara USA. Without knowing where the episode was going to go, Daniel concludes that one shouldn't dismiss an activity after a quick glance as you may get hooked when you actually try it. And, that some activities are great complements to each other and bring us balance. Also, he brings up the newly published book by one of his climbing heroes, Hans Florine: http://onthenosebook.com/ and the giveaway campaign: http://onthenosebook.com/contest/ (the Tenkara USA giveaway will be on the week of September 19th).

About Hans Florine This is from Wikipedia because I couldn't possibly sum this up any better. Hans Florine has a long and storied history on El Cap, and in particular on The Nose. Here goes: Hans Florine (born June 18, 1964)[3][4][5] is an American rock climber, who together withAlex Honnold holds the Speed Climb World Record for climbing The Nose of Yosemite’s El Capitan in 2:23:46 (2 hours, 23 minutes and 46 seconds), set on June 17, 2012[6] which broke the previous record of 2:36.45 set by Dean Potter and Sean Leary. Hans also previously held the same record with Yuji Hirayama for El Capitan in 2:37:05 (2 hours, 37 minutes and 5 seconds), set on October 12, 2008.[2] This broke their record of 2:43:33 set on July 2, 2008, which had broken the record that was set by the German "Huberbuam",Alexander Huber and Thomas Huber.[7] The two brothers climbed The Nose on October 8, 2007 in 2:45:45, breaking Hans' and Yuji's prior speed record.[8] El Capitan is traditionally climbed in three to five days.[9]The Nose route is 2,900 ft long (880 m) and features over 31 pitches of strenuous, exposed climbing.[9] Florine thus climbed The Nose at roughly 6 minutes per pitch. On July 30, 2005, Florine also completed a solo ascent of The Nose in just 11 hours and 41 minutes.[10] Solo ascents are characterized by climbing by yourself and require one person to do all the work. Pretty impressive, huh? I wanted to know how he trained for such crazy shenanigans, and he kindly gave his time for an interview.
