In the latest Uphill Athlete podcast episode, Alyssa interviews Tanner Wanish, a former Navy SEAL turned elite climber known for his record-breaking Yosemite Triple Crown ascent. Tanner shares his unconventional entry into climbing, his disciplined training regimen, and his perspective on balancing risk and endurance in high-altitude technical climbing. They discuss the mental and physical challenges of pushing limits while maintaining safety, particularly in extreme endurance events like the Yosemite Quad. The conversation also touches on his experience with sponsorships, overtraining, injury management, and the importance of listening to one's instincts in dangerous situations. Tune in for a fantastic episode with one of the rising voices in climbing.If you'd like to follow Tanner's adventures, you can check him out on instagram at @ilikebigbutress If you'd like to learn more about our offerings, please visit uphillathlete.com or write to us at coach@uphillathlete.com

In today's episode, we're diving into the world of speed climbing with Olympian Piper Kelly. Piper is a 2024 Paris Olympian, a three-time Pan American champion, and she's from Indianapolis—my hometown, which I obviously had to geek out about. Piper shares what it's like to train for and compete in speed climbing, including the unique ... more »

Welcome back to the final episode of the TCM triple crown! Today we get the privilege to sit down with both Tanner Wanish and Micheal Vaill to discuss their most recent achievement, the Yosemite Quad. If for some reason you've made it here without listening to the two prior episodes I highly consider stopping and checking those out before you continue here, as they give a background to each individual climber's life. Human nature has us craving novelty, so when we hear about an achievement like ‘The Yosemite Quad,' it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and headlines and miss the real meaning behind it. Tanner and Michael didn't create the Quad for publicity, nor were they focused on breaking speed records for the Yosemite Triple Crown. In fact, they didn't really care about records—it was just a by-product of something much bigger. For these two, the real passion lies in pushing the limits of how much climbing they can pack into 24 hours. ‘The Yosemite Quad' is simply the latest expression of that vision.It's also easy to get hyper-focused on the climbers themselves, especially when media tends to spotlight individuals. But after talking to Micheal and Tanner, it's clear that the Quad wasn't just about physical endurance. This feat took meticulous planning, logistics, and overwhelming support from their network. These two are especially psyched about this accomplishment because it was truly a team effort. Without the key people who supported them over the 22-hour mission, this achievement wouldn't have been possible. For them, the real magic lies in the collaboration—the network, friendships, and teamwork they've built over the years.During this interview, these two crushers were still buzzing with excitement, having completed the Quad just days before. So I sat back and just let them share what was on their mind.. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did. And now I bring you The Quadfathers.----Don't forget to check out our full video episodes on Youtube!The TCM movement is growing but we need your help to spread the word!

Today, we're continuing The Climbing Majority's ‘Triple Crown' series with Michael Vaill, one of the two climbers who recently broke the Yosemite Triple Crown speed record and, just a week later, made history with the monumental Yosemite Quad. If you missed yesterday's conversation with his partner, Tanner Wanish, I highly recommend giving it a listen after this episode.If I had to describe Michael Vaill in one word, it would be 'psyched.' His passion is tangible, infectious, and truly motivating. But for Michael, 'psyche' is more than just a climbing mindset—it's a way of life. Even before discovering climbing, he nurtured this relentless drive while studying and achieving a PhD in Cell Biology. After graduating, he redirected his focus entirely to climbing in Yosemite, where he could fully embrace this life of passion and challenge.Michael chooses to live a minimalist, flexible life in order to fully immerse himself in climbing. Life in a van allows him to spend every day pursuing what excites him the most. As he says, if he's “psyched,” then he'll keep doing it forever.While his love for climbing runs deep, Michael takes safety and caution seriously. He speaks about the importance of mentorship, learning to place reliable protection, and respecting the skills required to climb at your limit safely…. Even as he tackles routes as serious and dangerous as the legendary Bachar-Yerian, a 5.11 X testpiece, his approach is careful and calculated. He's also dedicated to helping newer climbers, giving them a safe space to learn and experience the joy of climbing.Michael is here. Right now…living in the present…., and aims to continue like that for the foreseeable future., And with his recent achievements in the climbing world, I'd say it's working out for him pretty well.... His journey is a reminder to stay psyched, push limits thoughtfully, and savor the fulfillment that climbing brings to our lives.----Don't forget to check out our full video episodes on Youtube!The TCM movement is growing but we need your help to spread the word!

In dieser Folge nehmen wir euch mit in die atemberaubende Welt des Speed Climbings. Bei dieser Kletterdisziplin geht es darum, in möglichst kurzer Zeit eine weltweit genormte Route nach oben zu klettern, bei der die Länge und Neigung der Wand sowie die Größe, Form und Position der Griffe und Tritte immer identisch sind. Wichtig für den Erfolg im Speedklettern sind vor allem Schnell- und Maximalkraft, Schnelligkeit, höchste Greif- und Trittpräzision und die Fähigkeit, sich die Bewegungsabläufe der Route genau einzuprägen. Für diese Episode haben wir mit Sebastian Lucke einen Gast, der diese Eigenschaften alle mitbringt und nur für etwas mehr als fünf Sekunden ...Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?

The first of our athletes to wear the silver fern in Paris have been announced 

The government plans to introduce new laws this week that will ban gang patches in public and restrict the ability to gather. Australia has similar state laws there, but do they work? Personalising goods is expected to be a big trend in 2024 and two speed climbers have been selected as our first Olympians for the Games in Paris, we speak to one of them Julian David, the current world junior champion.

The first athletes for the New Zealand team to compete at this year's Paris Olympics have been named. They will compete in the speed climbing event, and for the first time, two speed climbers have been selected. Sarah Tetzlaff and Julian David will represent the country, along with about 200 other athletes, at the Games which will be in Paris this July. Nineteen-year-old Julian David is the current Junior World Champion for Speed Climbing and won the Emerging Talent award at this year's Halberg Awards. David spoke to Corin Dann.

Our guest today is Albert Ok, a YouTuber and speed-climbing coach. Albert goes by the handle Professor Ok, and creates content that breaks down movement. He tries to break climbing down into its most fundamental parts in order to best understand it. He's also a talented speed climber, boulderer, and all-around athlete. But first, Andrew reports on a little local controversy from Chamonix regarding one of the most decorated alpine climbers of his generation who was prosecuted by an authoritarian politician, and what all of this means for the big thorny question of fixed gear in the mountains. Our final bit features the heavy psychedelic grooves of the band Pontiak.

Speed climbing made its Olympic debut in 2021 and since then it's exploded in popularity, including here in New Zealand. Our first ever speed climbing team has been training six days a week in Mount Maunganui. They're about to jet off to compete in a number of international competitions, including the World Championships in Switzerland. Among them is Sarah Tetzlaff, who is the current New Zealand female record holder with a time of 9.56 seconds. Sarah is with me now to tell us about the sport and its progress here in Aotearoa.

It's hard to know where to start in telling this story. It's been a wild journey. After qualifying for the Olympics in December 2020, we thought things were going to get a bit simpler. We have a date when the Olympics are going to run and a training plan to execute, easy. The reality was a fair bit different. We naively underestimated the path to getting prepared for the biggest sporting event in the world. Perhaps we needed a bit of that to get us to the start line though.We had big goals and put everything into making it happen. No stone was left unturned in getting Tom to Tokyo in the best shape possible. One of the biggest challenges was creating a training environment in Australia which had never existed. We were like the bow of a ship, breaking through the ice. This took a huge team effort to get Tom as prepared as we possibly could. We couldn't be more grateful for the support.Thank you to everyone that helped along this journey, you're all incredible. Thank you to those who donated to the ASF fundraiser and sent messages of support. It was truly humbling to see how amazing and psyched you all are. Thank you to everyone at Sport Climbing Australia for all the hard work behind the scenes. Thank you to Tom's sponsors for all their support. Thank you to the climbing gyms for giving me the space to train and prepare. Especially Villawood Climbing gym, Skywood Climbing and Nomad Bouldering. Thank you to Lee Cossey and the Move Clinic for the training plans which took Tom's climbing to another level. Thank you to Amanda Watts and Thrive Sport Nutrition for keeping Tom fuelled and recovered for seven of the hardest months of training he had ever done. Thank you everyone for everything. This is a team sport!The only thing left to do now, is decide where to get the tattoo.You can check out the story of the Olympic qualification here on Episode #24.Check out our chat with Sherro in Episode #15.

As I record these devotions, we are in the thick of the Olympics. Despite the time difference between us and Japan, there is plenty of chance to watch the competitors.   Of course, one of the great things about the Olympics is that we get to see all different types of sport – some of which we had no idea existed. Perhaps you are enjoyed the new additions – ‘Speed Climbing' or ‘Bouldering' – ‘Surfing' or ‘Street Skateboarding'.  Perhaps you are even eyeing up Paris 2024 and wondering what sport you could take up to get you onto the Olympic team?  We are going to use the Olympics to springboard ourselves off into different readings this week and reflect on what God has to say to us.

SEASON THREE: The Road to the 2020 Olympics with Adam Ondra, the 26-year-old Czech climber that is taking the world by storm. Although most people outside the climbing community have not heard his name, I guarantee that will change the moment he steps onto the stage at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Adam Ondra is the man to beat and for a lot of reasons. Adam is the only person to have won both the lead and the bouldering world cup title in the same year. And he’s the only person to have climbed 5.15d. Or flashed 5.15a. All while slaying V15 and 16’s. Ondra is that formidable. Only a small handful of climbers can compete, except of course, in the discipline known as Speed Climbing, the third discipline in the combined format for the 2020 Olympics. If you ever wondered what it will take to win a Gold Medal, or what the Tomoa Skip in Speed happens to be, you are in for a treat. Adam shares what he believes will be the winning recipe. “The most important event will come down to bouldering.” To read the feature article/blog and watch the latest videos, please visit https://www.tripleblack.com/adam-ondra-2020-olympics Royalty Free Music from Bensound

On Episode 122 of the Enormocast, I sit down rather early in the morning with the “Ambassador to The Nose” Hans Florine. Hans holds the speed record for The Nose on El Capitan with Alex Honnold at 2:23:46- basically, less time than you spent on Facebook yesterday. But Hollywood Hans has been a freewheeling Cali climber … Continue reading "Episode 122: Hans Florine – A Need for Speed (Climbing)."

  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. What We Talked About His seriously amazing feats as a Yosemite and competition speed climber His badass training sessions in the gym before work How he trains for big walls and speed climbing What he eats before and during big wall speed ascents Whether or not he'll attempt another speed record on the Nose A lot more Related Links Hans's site at www.hansflorine.com Hans on Wikipedia (he's that good) Hans with Yuji Hirayama on a previous record speed ascent of the Nose (VIDEO) Support The Podcast This podcast is made possible by the Training Programs on TrainingBeta. Check 'em out if you need some help sending!
