Passion, conviction, obsession. Heart and soul. Words to describe the devoted. Those driven to produce what had never existed before — a crusade to push the sport forward. When Bill Belcourt talks product, you listen. The former head of R&D at Black Diamond, Bill helmed the department during the heydey, when anything was possible and all roads led to BD for product innovation. Chances are, if you've used BD climbing gear in the past 30 years, you've used Bill's work.Now, Bill leads Blue Ice - North America, where the work continues.In this episode, we chat about:

From extreme mountaineering to training Hollywood's elite, Mark Twight's journey has been anything but straightforward. He has reinvented himself countless times, often more than he acknowledges, delving deep into his core to gradually accept himself. Facing and overcoming challenges can leave lasting marks, sometimes making one hard and unyielding, with little room for inspiration. However, maintaining sensitivity and staying in touch with one's ever-changing environment fosters dynamic growth rather than becoming rigid and static. Tune into this enlightening and inspiring podcast episode where no emotion, no experience nor wisdom falls short.  Thank youMark and Matthias for sharing.

In questo podcast tiro le somme, come a fine di ogni stagione, di quanto detto. Si conclude un altro viaggio bellissimo nella storia dell'alpinismo e dell'arrampicata che questa volta ci ha portato negli Stati Uniti, a conoscere il pensiero dei climbers americani dal dopoguerra ad oggi. Siamo partiti dal bellissimo documentario Valley Uprising per poi andare a conoscere i due amici/nemici della Golden Age dell'arrampicata di Yosemite: Royal Robbins e Warren Harding. Abbiamo poi visto il capitolo dedicato agli Stone Monkeys, che ha avuto in Jim Bridwell, detto the Bird, il suo capo carismatico e la sua controparte in Lynn Hill, la regina incontestata dell'arrampicata. Siamo giunti al capitolo conclusivo della parte leggendaria dell'arrampicata americana, quello degli Stone Monkeys che ha avuto nel divino Dean Potter il suo leader carismatico. La morte di Dean, nel 2015 segna un po' la fine di questa parte "leggendaria" dell'arrampicata a Yosemite. L'era attuale vede ancora 2 protagonisti (sono sempre 2!): uno è Tommy Caldwell, a cui ho dedicato uno dei miei primissimi podcast e l'altro è il suo amico, Alex Honnold che passa alla storia per il suo celebre free solo sulla free rider a El Capitan. Ho poi voluto andare a vedere cosa succedesse nell'alpinismo americano di quegli anni e abbiamo così visto la storia di Willi Unsoeld (West Ridge Everest 1963), il professore 68ino che perde sua figlia in spedizione e il punkettaro Mark Twight, l'americano di Chamonix. Infine ho voluto dare un'occhiata a cosa succedesse nell'arrampicata italiana in quegli stessi anni e ho trovato materiale nel libro di Enrico Camanni, Nuovi Mattini. Abbiamo ascoltato le voci di Camanni stesso, di Jolly Lamerti, del bellissimo Manolo e di Andrea Dibbà. Ma soprattutto abbiamo fatto un viaggio attraverso delle persone, dei climber che sono alla ricerca di sé, della libera espressione di sé e quindi della felicità.

Un grande classico! È una raccolta di articoli pregnanti, scritta nella Chamonix folle degli anni ‘80, nella sua fase punk, vissuta sul bordo del precipizio della paura (per le imprese che si sceglieva in montagna) con l'adrenalina a 10000 ed eternamente col medio alzato. Mark Twight si confronta con le sue paure più grandi: l'essere una persona mediocre, essere una persona incapace di amare. Dopo qualche anno a Chamonix, Mark Twight tornerà negli Stati Uniti ma soprattutto troverà le risposte che cercava, troverà sè stesso. Oggi è il personal coach di Jason Momoa, Aquamarine ed è felicemente sposato. Buon ascolto e buona lettura!

James and Shereen discuss how to stay warm in the coldest winter yet and the warmest winter of the rest of our lives, because it will only get worse with Climate Change. Clothing in the cold Overall principles - cotton kills, it gets wet and stays wet and can freeze you - It is not so much about staying dry as making sure you can dry off quickly - Based on Mark Twight's system , you essentially want to create a warm microclimate around your body which is warmer than the microclimate and will encourage and allow vapour transfer out into the world, not keep vapour around you Base layer Here you're looking to wick moisture away from the skin and insulate while you're warm. You want something that fits and allows you to move   Consider that wool can get misshapen and has to be treated with care but it doesn't small like synthetic and it won't melt and stick to you. Wool drys slower as well .   Don't go too thick here, if it heats up or you heat up it really sucks to be locked into a thick warm base layer, I'd rather have a warmer active insulation layer and be able to strip down to a light base layer, for example when xc skiing uphill   Right now I am using a Black Diamond Rhythm which is a blend called Nuyarn, https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/m-ls-rhythm-tee/    when things get colder I have a 1/4 zip Artilect base 125gsm layer which I love. https://www.artilect.studio/us/m-boulder-125-1-4-zip-2211121-db-bk-1223#selection.color=6584     If you're looking for value, I think Helly Hansen synthetic base layers are great, I have some that I got when I was 18. https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Lightweight-Breathable-Baselayer/dp/B001N2MLYC/ref=asc_df_B001N2MLYC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312128224504&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3455986774775180687&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031340&hvtargid=pla-559593705576&psc=1&mcid=c1a5450b28a23d6ba978cf0b812277bb&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI69D566vlgwMViNLCBB1ofw77EAQYAiABEgLFGPD_BwE    For legs I really like the kuiu base layer underwear with side zips and sized tk not overlap with socks https://www.kuiu.com/products/ultra-merino-145-zip-off-bottom-charcoal?variant=40340172701854    Wind layer This takes the bite out of the wind while remaining breathable . It needs to be cut big enough to move around in and go over your active insulation , and possibly your parka for protecting it in camp. For this reason some people advocate for a thing wind shirt which you can wear UNDER layers and a soft-shell which provides abrasion tresistance and is sized to go over layers   I love the mountain hardware kor air shell . The Pertex quantum air fabric is incredible and it's very small and light https://www.mountainhardwear.com/p/mens-kor-airshell-hoody-1985031.html?dwvar_1985031_color=357    A more robust wind layer that is very well respected is the Arcteryx Gamma, it's got a higher denier face fabric which will make it much more durable. It stretches well, is warmer,  and is fine for light rain https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/mens/gamma-hoody?cmpid=pm|mult|perf|google|Arc%27teryx_Google-PMAX_S22_Performance_BOF_R:NAM_C:USA_L:EN|All_Products||{ad_id}&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pm|mult|perf&utm_campaign=Arc%27teryx_Google-PMAX_S22_Performance_BOF_R:NAM_C:USA_L:EN&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwa_ByKzlgwMVwBOtBh3cgwz9EAQYASABEgL_ivD_BwE  A budget option is the British surplus smock, but these are a lot heavier and bulkier https://www.militarysurplusworld.com/product-eng-15751-BRITISH-SMOCK-WITH-HOOD-DESERT-MILITARY-SURPLUS-USED.html    Legs In general I would say I like to find pants that allow for venting but also block some of the wind.   I'm a huge fan of the beyond rig light pants because the mesh pockets also act as vents. I also like to have a kneepad pocket, and a built in adjustable bungee cuff on the bottom. https://beyondclothing.com/products/a5-rig-light-backcountry-pant  A slightly less technical pant I enjoy is the prana stretch Zion which I also love to climb in. https://www.prana.com/p/stretch-zion-pant-ii/1969791.html?dwvar_1969791_color=Cacao&dwvar_1969791_size=34&dwvar_1969791_dimension=32&mid=compshop&eid=google&nid=tnt_shopping_br_past_season_lf&oid=mens_bottoms&did=pla-293946777986&gid=6&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrvvqga3lgwMVHQytBh29ogzOEAQYAiABEgJH8vD_BwE   When it's really cold I'll use beyond testa soft shell  fleece lined pants https://beyondclothing.com/products/k5-testa-softshell-pant For work stuff, I really lie Truwerk https://truewerk.com/collections/workwear-pants-shorts-bibs?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwMKW-azlgwMVARKtBh0nGw0QEAAYASACEgIjbPD_BwE  Active insulation -The mid layer isn't a great term, it was invented when people used wool or fleece which weren't blocking wind very well so needed an outer layer . This is a layer that keeps us warm, but doesn't make us overheat when we are working hard. We want to look for something with a breathable material and/ or mechanical venting.These layers are great to sleep in if you're camping.   I really like grid fleece pattern layers for this, down tends to be too hot and doesn't breathe as well. Beyond has some great ones like the alpha aurora ( https://beyondclothing.com/products/mens-alpha-aura-jacket) or the celeris which I like but they stopped making . I look for Polartec's alpha (needs backing material) or alpha direct fabric (doesn't need) , it's very warm. I particularly like the mammut alpha 60 (donating 60gsm fleece weight) which they don't make any more, 90gsm is a bit warmer . A great value option here is the U.S. gi waffle top https://militarydepotusa.com/gen-iii-level-ii-underwear-tan-waffle-top-military-issue/  .   The outdoor vitals Vario (or the vents which is lighter) is a bit of an outlier here. It's a synthetic insulated hoodie. The vents has mesh under arms and a 1/4 zip and it's incredibly warm and light. I generally don't like a combo wind / insulation layer but this thing is fantastic https://outdoorvitals.com/products/vario-jacket    Static insulation - This is your big warm jacket, to be thrown on when you stop moving. People tend to lean to down here but consider that lower quality does can compact, and if it's not treated well it will fail to insulate if it gets wet. Good modern down is treated with DWR so it keeps loft in the wet. It is the warmest/ weight option and it packs well.     You want to look at the fill power of the down, this can go from 400-900 approx higher numbers indicate a better quality jacket. The number comes from a lab test that measures how many cubic inches of loft one ounce of that down fill produces. Higher fill power numbers indicate greater loft and insulating efficiency.   You also want to look at the fill weight, the amount of down used in the pier of gear. A lower fill power jacket with the same fill weight as a higher fill power jacket will be less warm. But a 400 fill power jacket with 60g fill weight will be as warm as a 800 fill power jacket with 30g fill weight , however the former will weigh more and be less packable.  For me I like to go above 100 when it's below freezing but I get cold a lot   Consider the denier count of the face fabric, it can go from single digits to 70 ish and a more durable face fabric will prevent you tearing it and losing down. I would also not opt for a jacket with tons of baffles as places where there are baffles are uninsulated and every stitch is a hole. a thinner face fabric is going to need babying around camp, or a layer over it   Where synthetic really stands out is that it can stand up to more weather, it's also cruelty free. It can be heavier and pack a bit less well. Here you don't get a fill power , but you do get a fill weight. Primaloft is the brand to look for here, as their synthetic insulation's are very well respected and they have biodegradable and post consumer recycled downs. Right now my main belay parka is a Beyond Anchor Belay Jacket https://beyondclothing.com/collections/jackets/products/mens-anchor-k7-belay-jacket  when it's really cold I have a Helly Hansen Odin jacket https://www.hellyhansen.com/en_us/odin-lifa-pro-belay-jacket-63108?color=627661  For a down option I can't find fault in the Decathlon offerings and they are great value and have ethically sourced down.  https://www.decathlon.com/products/forclaz-mt100-hooded-down-puffer-jacket-167571?variant=32494250360894&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsemi-q7lgwMVGR-tBh0isgwkEAQYASABEgKlBvD_BwE  The ultralight subreddit does a great job of ranking full power / weight / price as well     Size up to go over your other layers Waterproof - this is for sustained downpours. Far too many people us gore Tex when a set wind layer would be fine. With water loots you have your laminates , with a waterproof layer, like goretex and PerTex, and your waterproof coatings on an otherwise non waterproof fabric .   With a waterproof you want a three layer , that way the fabric is protected on the inside and doesn't need a heavy and bulky hanging mesh liner like you get in a 2 layer . I suggest a minimum of a 2.5 layer   Waterproofing is expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm, or in pounds / square inch. Higher numbers are better if you're often kneeling in snow or we ground. Another, more useful stat, is mm of rain in 24 hours, a higher number in the 20k range indicates a jacket that won't wet out on long wet days , gore Tex pro is at 28,000. Breathability is quantified in terms of mvtr, again over 20k is good here   You'll also want to look for seams that are taped , so water can't get in, and a good quality waterproof zip and mechanical vents . Hovering around freezing I like a jacket that I can get over my parka   For static waterproofing, consider wax over gore tex. It's much better for the planet and it's totally waterproof. I wax my own stuff all the time, and fjallraven has good wax to use for that . Filson (https://www.filson.com/tin-cloth-short-lined-cruiser-jacket.html?source=google&medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlerf5q_lgwMVhQytBh0L9gJ8EAQYASABEgIXG_D_BwE#sku=20232828-fco-000000050 ) , Barbour, you can easily was a carport jacket   I have an emergency jacket with 20-40 denier fabric that packs very easily , it's my jacket for when I doubt there will be rain , I  like the mountain hardwear minimizer (https://www.mountainhardwear.com/p/mens-minimizer-gore-tex-paclite-plus-jacket-%7C-418-%7C-m-888663704981.html) . This is Goretex Paclite which is cheaper than Goretex pro but acceptable for occasional use   I also have an “it's going to be wet all day” jacket which I got from forloh, it's the all clima 3 and I like the mechanical venting and the fact that is quiet . It's. It cheap but it's a great piece https://forloh.com/products/allclima-mens-rain-jacket-3l   Always clean and reproof your jackets with nixwak https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/  Extremities You want socks that aren't too tight, wool tends to be preferred. I really like the Feetures , darn tough and swift wick socks. Alpaca wool socks are very warm , I like paka https://www.pakaapparel.com/ Hats, I like a wool hat unless it's very wet. I have a nice Velocio wool beanie https://velocio.cc/ , and an icebreaker very thin one https://www.icebreaker.com/en-us/hats-neckwear/cool-lite-merino-flexi-beanie/0A56FMU2.html?dwvar_0A56FMU2_color=001&dwvar_0A56FMU2_US=in_line  Gloves, I have some very thin gore tex infirm gloves that are very warm https://www.gorewear.com/us/en-us/m-gore-tex-infinium-stretch-gloves-100410  , polartec power grid gloves https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/midweight-gridtech-fleece-gloves/   are also a go to for me. I like a glove layering system , outdoor research made one for the military but annoyingly it's not for sale to civilians Finally a scarf or kuffiyeh https://hirbawiusa.com/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I set out from Bend, Oregon, this past Wednesday morning and began the five hour commute up to Ashford, Washington. The whole time I was driving, I fretted about the weather. Rainier, like most big peaks, is known for unpredictable and rapid changes in its atmospheric attitude. Looking back on my experience, I feel like I cheated a little: We summited with cloudless skies and mellow winds. For many climbers, the weather is an obstacle to surmount not unlike the glaciers and vert that make Rainier the challenge that it is. When I pulled into Ashford I was thinking about all of the climbing legends who've been through this place: Ed Veisturs, Mark Twight, Jim, Lou, and Pete Whittaker, among many more. Rainier is a test piece. It's the place where countless climbing careers begin, and some tragically end. As Twight says “the mountains have teeth.” One of the worst accidents in US mountaineering history happened right here in 1981, where 11 people were killed when the Ingraham Icefall fractured and avalanched down the glacier. It was the very same route we'd be attempting. My friends and I went with the four-day climb through RMI (Rainier Mountaineering Inc.), which dates back to 1969 and was one of the first guide services operating in the vicinity.

With only about a dozen ascents in nearly four decades, the Slovak Direct route on Denali's south face is one of North America's premier climbs. Sixteen years after the first ascent, Scott Backes, Steve House, and Mark Twight famously upped the ante by climbing the route in single-push style: bringing no tent or sleeping bags and climbing nearly continuously for 60 hours. Twenty-two years later, in the spring of 2022, the Slovak saw another round of single-push ascents, blazing up the route in less than 24 hours. For this episode, AAJ editor Dougald MacDonald spoke with climbers from all three of these ascents: Steve House, Matt Cornell, and Rob Smith. They talked about the progression in climbing gear and tactics that allowed such amazingly fast climbs, but also about universal aspects of challenges like this that have nothing to do with speed records. The Cutting Edge is presented by Hilleberg the Tentmaker (hilleberg.com), with additional support from Lowa Boots, Polartec, and Gnarly Nutrition. This podcast is produced by the American Alpine Club.

Hard, scary trad climbing is all fun and games until someone breaks their back. That's what happened to Molly Mitchell on Crank It, a 5.13+ sport climb in Boulder Canyon that Molly was attempting to headpoint on gear. Nevertheless, Molly sought redemption and returned to the climb years later and ultimately sent it on gear. But what she discovered about her self, and her health, ended up being the real prize of this inspiring journey. But first, the hosts take a closer look at how one of the biggest and hardest routes on Denali got not one but two insane speed records set within a matter of weeks. That would be the Slovak Direct, with Matt Cornell, Jackson Marvell and Alan Rousseau setting the pace at 21 hours, 35 minutes. Then two weeks later, Michael Gardner, Sam Hennessey and Rob Smith came in at 17 hours, 10 minutes. Our final bit is music from an old classic. Show Notes Follow Molly Mitchell on Instagram.

My mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion. This podcast is a small part of what I do. Drop by https://constantine.name for my weekly email, podcasts, writing and more.

I once again sit down in the NonProphet studio, this time to record a long overdue session with Mark Twight. Mark is a prolific writer and photographer, that is best known for his accomplishments in the world of alpine climbing and the fitness industry. His exploits in the mountains (and the training he endured to facilitate them), earned him an advisory position with the U.S. military and subsequently connected him to the realm of Hollywood, where he was responsible for training the actors of the film "300" and "Justice League". In our conversation, we discuss his passion for firearms and shooting, his foray into the world of personal defense, his ability to pivot and transition through life, and most notably how his own efforts and autonomy inspire and impact others. This is our longest episode to date, but it is replete with wit and wisdom from a man who has just about done and seen it all, making it worth every minute.

This week I sat down with one of our former coaches at Croga, Nick Ralston, for another chat about Endurance.If you haven’t listened to my first interview with Nick about Self Identity and Using Fitness to Experience the World, go check out episode 42.Additionally, in episode 45, Nick and I chatted about some endurance events he had participated in during the summer of 2019 and started scratching the surface of some of the nuance of endurance like self reflection, integrity, honor, mental limits and also physical limits that we’re going to dive deeper into today.The inspiration for the episode you’re listening to right now, episode 55, is actually a training book/journal that Nick sent me as a gift.The book is titled “Endurance” and is produced by a couple coaches named Mark Twight and Michael Blevins who are based out of Salt Lake City and run a business called NonProphet that produces training content, hosts Fitness Education Symposiums, is a private training facility and also the name of their very thought provoking podcast.Join us on our chat this week as we self reflect and discuss the first half of this book about the pieces of Endurance that are much deeper than the surface level nonsense most think of when they think about Endurance as a sport of distance running, cycling, swimming or some combination there of.Follow us on Instagram & Facebook @LionheartedPodcastFollow Coach Nick on Instagram @NickRalston05Learn more about NonProphet on Instagram @NonProphet  Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music

"Mark Twight began his self-described “descent into the black depths of extreme alpinism” in 1984. “This obsession,” as he wrote in the essay, “Kiss or Kill,” “destroyed my relationships, drove me into depression, and changed me from a happy, future-hopeful young man into an embittered cynic.” Twight is well-known for pushing the margins, both in his climbs and in his writing. In 1988, he and Randy Rackliff made the first ascent of “The Reality Bath,” a 600-meter ice climb in the Canadian Rockies that has yet to be repeated. That same year, Twight joined Barry Blanchard, Ward Robinson and Kevin Doyle in an alpine-style attempt of Nanga Parbat’s Rupal Face. The climbers reached 7700 meters before a storm forced them to retreat amid lightning and multiple avalanches. In his writing of the same era, Twight often adopted a bold, brusque voice that earned him the persona “Dr. Doom.” Now a classic of mountain literature, the 2001 anthology Kiss or Kill includes writing that helped canonize the Dr. Doom persona, who delivered lines such as, “The new climbs of the age are yesterday’s death routes,” and “Punish your body to perfect your soul.” Twight stepped away from extreme alpinism in 2000. In his recently released book of photography, Refuge, Twight reflected, “Twenty-five of my years were governed by the demands imposed by mountains and climbing them, and the most difficult challenge I faced after having survived was to find satisfaction in the valley.” Deputy editor Paula Wright spoke with Twight at the Banff Mountain Book and Film Festival in November 2019.

Mark Twight, mountaineer and personal trainer for the likes of Jason Momoa and Gerard Butler, is joined by hosts Evan Hafer, Logan Stark, and Trevor Thompson. The group discusses training Hollywood actors on tight deadlines, the dangers, risks, and strategies involved in extreme mountaineering, starting Gym Jones and more.

Mark Twight returns to the show to talk about transitions, decision paralysis, and, of course, the nuances and science of athletic optimization. Throughout his varied career, Mark has been a pioneering mountaineer, photographer, writer, and trainer to military personnel and some of Hollywood's most famous actors. In this episode, he reflects on psychological impact of leaving his celebrated climbing career for an unknown future at the age of 39, and his struggle with finding new avenues of fulfillment. They talk about the modern predicament of having infinite options, and why getting uncomfortable in conversations with those around you can help resolve inner conflict. They also get deep into the weeds of exercise science, and Mark shares some of his philosophy on appearance vs. fitness, performance vs. health, and why deadlifts should be a thing of the past. 

Andrew Tracey, Mens Health UK Fitness Editor, founder of Farm Fitness and all round training machine sat down with Chris and I before we headed to the gym to indulge in some sweaty pushing and pulling back at the start of the year. We've orbited in similar circles as Andrew so it felt only a matter of time before we sat down and press record. If you watch him on instagram his means of fitness generally involve a lot of lifting, and commitment to putting in the time, regardless of where he is, what time it is and how busy his day was. Inspired by the original Gym Jones, the facility created by Mark Twight to put in the work, we share similar visions as to what the world of fitness can be. A place to learn about your Self if you are prepared to get into the shadows and dark corners of the psyche and inquire into the capacity and potentiality of our capacity and capability. I wasn't expecting Andrew to be so gentle, and it was lovely to hear him talk about being inspired, inspiring and putting into the world his efforts in order for them to inspire others and be improved upon for the greater good. We cover his being non sporty as a youngster but possessing as he calls it “Toerag” fitness, accumulated through hours of playing, doing and being to his first job in a proper gym in Harlow Essex, a place full of doormen and bodybuilders, where you were celebrated for the effort you put in regardless of the weight you lift and then onto the downfall of the Personal Trainer, chasing the career which in actual fact spring boarded Andrew to become who he is today with the breadth of knowledge and pure enthusiasm for fitness and becoming more complete. Lifting weights isn't what it is perceived as, strength is important, it teaches us many things and shows us what we can do if we are not afraid to lose in the short term.

This is the second part of the podcast we recoded with the NonProphet guys; Mark Twight and Michael Blevins from our trip to the US in Oct 19. Pt One is Ep 58.

Thoughts on Mark Twight and Micheal Blevins podcast with Chris and James

This episode is taken from our most recent trip to the US. Every time we go away it's a new trip with new insights and new perspectives. Increasing our awareness of the connections between the methods and ideas of the creators. Relentless in their pursuit of the creative endeavor. Their art form if you will. This was the midway point of our road trip having come from Colorado, through New Mexico and then across the mid West to Salt Lake City Utah to meet Mark Twight and Michael Blevins. For some these names will mean nothing, for others who were climbing in the 90's Marks name will ring a bell and for others who are fully in the deep end of physical culture Mark created Gym Jones. An idea and philosophy of training, constantly asking questions and testing ideas formed from the depths of pushing and suffering in the mountains. Mark met Michael through Gym Jones and these two went forward creating something purer, deeper and richer in the world of physical culture with Nonprophet, an evolving stable of mediums, from publishing and photography (Raze & Refuge),  the Dissect podcast the Fitness is Fucked symposium and where we met, the physical space in Salt Lake City. Combined and individually the mediums have the power to influence and change those who connect and are prepared to do ‘the work'. Since we first saw the zine they produced under the title Raze “a fistfight with nature” at Barbers Gym we have wanted to sort this trip out, we are listeners of their Dissect podcast and it's the perspective and opinions they take, looking through different lenses to most that piques our interest. They are defiantly individual yet share much common ground with the other vanguards we are meeting. So we arrived in Salt Lake City and sat with them in their studio and talked. We talked about the common ground we share, of creating manifestations of ideas we have had and the importance of continuously evolving our Selves and the mediums with which we put ideas out in to the world. The latter often being a point of contention for those who are comfortable in staying put and not evolving. This is highly principled non dogmatic dogma.We change over time and with the right environment we grow and that is the richness of creating and putting ideas out in to the world supported by an environment, which holds us accountable to do the things we need to do but so often put off because they feel uncomfortable. As Michael said: “We need someone to push us in the direction we are not willing to go in order to create the change we say we want.”Change, adaptation, transformation. All create discomfort, all can foster suffering but through the other side we are more than the person we were when we went in.

Over his two decades as an athlete, including four-years as an Army Paratrooper, and seven-years as a coach, Kegan Dillon has experienced the many benefits that come with making physicality a priority, as well as the many pitfalls that can come with that lifestyle—and now he is dedicated to helping others on a similar journey to avoid those pitfalls and maximize their success both in and outside of the gym. Kegan employs his knowledge as a lifelong seeker of performance to strengthen not only the body but also the mind through effort. It's the changes to one's behavior over time that Kegan believes will create lasting results for those he works with. Kegan's journey started with a training accident in the Army which ultimately led him to seek out guidance about getting stronger, being fitter and trying to attain or surpass his previous achievements post-injury. This journey has had many stops along the way where Kegan has worked for OPEX, Jesse Burdick, Michael Blevins, and Mark Twight, to name a few. This combination of experience both learning and doing, has allowed Kegan to create his own unique spin on how he trains and interacts with his clients.  PS You can now get Conquer Elevate's programming free for a 1-week trial.

How do we justify our own behavior? Typically, the go to is by means of an excuse. And for most people as Mark Twight said “need 10 excuses in their pocket just in case 9 get taken away from them.” Currently, excuses have become the accepted hijackers of accountability and the primary means of the incompetent to create masterpieces of uselessness. We attempt to lessen the blame on ourselves by attaching someone or something else in order to district us from the real problems at hand. Mislead, blind and naive we continue to become fixated on looking for permission for the sake of comfort instead of problems for the sake of improvement. It's an enigma why people when faced with the possibility of failure would prefer to use an excuse as a self proclaimed justification instead of a reason for an unfiltered explanation.

In their second conversation on The Adventure Stache, Payson and mountaineer Mark Twight sat down in Mark's Non Prophet headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah to pick up where they left off in Part I. They discuss Mark's use of male group dynamics to get major results in his work as a Hollywood trainer on some of the biggest action and superhero movies of the decade, the fear of underachieving, and why Mark is totally fine with the dangers of Everest's overcrowding problem. 

Mark Twight is a former pioneering mountaineer, climber, photographer, author, podcaster, and Hollywood trainer. During his climbing career, he made multiple first ascents of some of the most challenging routes in the world, and achieved the fastest known times (FKTs) on Denali and Mount Hunter in The Alaska Range using bold, innovative training and climbing methods. His lightweight, single push approach to alpinism solidified his legacy as a pioneer of the sport, and changed the face of mountaineering. Following his retirement from climbing, Twight founded Gym Jones, a private training facility where his success with professional athletes and military personnel led him to training actors for nine different Hollywood movies. He defines his current project--NonProphet--as the intersection between art and action but it is difficult to assign a title to what he does. Now he works as a writer, podcaster, speaker, and photographer. Payson caught up with Mark in Moab, UT to attempt to scratch the surface of Mark's career. They discuss radical approaches to breaking speed records, Mark's legendary 60 hour ascent of Denali, and why a balance between hubris and humility is key to achieving anything great. In the process, they realized there was just too much to talk about, and came back for round two a few months later. Part II of their conversation will be published next week. 

Dave and I sat down and had a conversation regarding our plethora of financial frustrations. Unnecessary pay walls, "required certifications", hidden fees, and contracts to name a few. Naturally all of these mechanisms have permeated the fitness industry while adopting the same schemes as their predecessors. Regardless of how cautious we think we're capable of becoming, it seems almost inevitable that we will all end up paying one way or another especially if its based on the premise of false guarantees. There is one guarantee that does holds true however: There is no such thing as a free lunch. “Everything costs something everyone pays.” -Mark Twight

On Episode 172 of the Enormocast, we continue to part 2 of a conversation with Alpinist Mark Twight. The Royal We highly recommends that one has a listen to Part 1 first, but this second half does stand on its own especially if you’re already familiar with Mark’s exploits in Chamonix and on Nanga Parbat. … Continue reading "Episode 172: Mark Twight – Still Coming Down Part 2."

Mark Twight is a world-class alpinist, author, photographer, the founder of Gym Jones, an accomplished cyclist, and technical consultant and trainer to the big screen. His newest photographic project Refuge is a mix of photography across multiple genres: https://www.marktwight.com/REFUGE/1 https://www.marktwight.com/ Trevor Thompson is a former Navy SEAL, with multiple combat deployments and broad experience that ranges from SDV (SEAL Delivery Vehicles) to the Navy Parachute Team, also known as the leapfrogs. He is now a professional canopy sports athlete, photographer, and content creator.

On Episode 171, I sit down in the Dissect Podcast studio with former alpinist, Mark Twight, for part 1 of our talk from February 2019. Though Mark gave up extreme alpinism around 2000, his attitude, outlook, and philosophy are still that of a climber. In this EPIC late night and whiskey-fueled interview, Mark recounts a … Continue reading "Episode 171: Mark Twight – Still Coming Down Part 1."

In our 8th and final episode of season two … we sit down with Barry Blanchard, one of the most bold and accomplished alpine climbers the world has ever seen. Blanchard is best known for his dangerous, cutting-edge ascents on high alpine faces across the globe. Many of Barry’s first ascents were well before their time and have consequently become test pieces for generations following in his footsteps. Most notably, these include the first ascent of Infinite Patience on the Emperor Face of Mt. Robson, the first ascent of the North Pillar of North Twin, a first ascent on the North Face of Les Droites, and a heroic attempt on the 15,000-foot Rupal Face on Nanga Parbat. He is perhaps most well known for outrageous alpine climbing feats with partners Mark Twight, Steve House, David Cheeseman and Scott Backes. The “brotherhood” as they are often referred to, actively challenged death on bold and cold alpine faces in what can only be considered a golden era of alpine climbing. We talk at length about his death-defying alpine climbing feats amidst a life wrought with hardship, personal struggle and ultimate redemption. Barry and I take a deep dive into how growing up fatherless in a mixed race family led to his rebellious alpine climbing mentality, how the closest bonds in his life have been realized through the power of partnerships, and how the great spirit has guided him on cold faces in order to abate the lethal risk of alpine climbing. Barry refers to alpinism as “pushing the door of a radiant, dangerous cathedral” and his philosophical take on the sport can be summed up in one beautiful and simple quote from his book “The Calling:" BARRY WRITES “WHAT BINDS US IS THE BOND OF BROTHERS, LINKED BY THE BELIEF THAT ACTION IS VIRTUE AND BY COMMITMENT TO CLIMBING MOUNTAINS VIA THEIR MOST COMPELLING LINES, IN SMALL PARTNERSHIPS, WITH ONLY THE THE TIME-HONORED ACCOUTREMENTS OF A ROPE, A RACK AND A PACK.” I hope you enjoy a deep and intimate conversation with one of the most fascinating, kind and intellectual people I have ever had the honor of recording with.

The rise in boutique gyms gives each owner the opportunity to express their perspective of movement and fitness with the clientele that frequent the space. Stepping through the industrial garage doors at Barbers you notice that a good amount of the space is taken up with what can only be described as beautiful climbing installation. Darrens background into this world started with board sports, which led onto a career in strength and conditioning, with the goal of getting people ready to get more from their physical performance and life in general. Getting outside and putting your gains to the test. This is where the climbing wall comes in and puts Barbers firmly at the intersection of the training facility for people that are wanting to add dimensions to their practice, be they seasoned athletes or raw beginners from climbing, or another practice.This isn't the largest wall in the world but biggest isn't always best. Inspired by Mark Twight @wfmft and his, at the time ground breaking Gym Jones ideas and his latest work of RAZE and Dissect podcast (worth checking out). This is more like the underground venue that when you know, you know.

Gerard Butler talks to John Wilson about starring alongside Gary Oldman in his latest action film, Hunter Killer. Set deep under the Arctic Ocean, Butler plays an American submarine captain on the hunt for another US vessel in distress when he discovers a secret Russian coup that could lead to another world war. Bigger budgets, bigger explosions and bigger torsos seem to be dominating our movie screens, with actors such as Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg known for their intense workout regimes. But how damaging is this trend for audiences and is bigger always better? Film critic Adam Smith and Mark Twight, the Hollywood personal trainer responsible for getting Superman, Wonder Woman and the cast of 300 into shape, discuss.Leading Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk on her International Man Booker prize-winning novel Flights, her new novel in translation, Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of the Dead, and how the history and politics of her home country informs her literary lifeAnd, a classic song is 55 today...Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Julian May

Mark Twight is a man who has found success in many arenas.  When I first heard his name, he was described as an Alpinist, an expert in the outdoors.  The description did not do the man justice.  Mark was not only an alpinist, he is an author, the founder of Gym Jones, an accomplished cyclist, and at one time a trainer to many stars that most would recognize from movies such as 300, and Man Of Steel.  Mark and I met in 2005, while I was slowly climbing out of the hole that an injury from work, plus my own poor choices, had put me in.  Our initial encounter was "exercise" based, and the lessons he exposed me to still frame the way I train now, and eventually led to a short lived career in the "fitness world."  He is one of the most unique human beings I have ever encountered, with an intensity and drive that can burn most to the ground.  It is what I admire most about him.  This conversation was over 1 year in the making.  We both wanted to wait until we were in the right spot, and I believe we finally arrived there.

Abdominales con los sit-ups. El conjunto de piernas y espalda con el clean y los hombros y tríceps con el jerk de los clean and jerk. Si queda algo por trabajar, dímelo, por que yo creo que los habrás tocado todos al terminar esta rutina crossfit. Como aclaración, el cajón que utilizaban es de 24" (60 cm).

Como referencia del tiempo que se tarda en hacerlo, entre los actores de la película llegaros a bajar de los 20 minutos, yo no he conseguido estar por debajo de los 30 minutos.
