Part 2 of 3. In this episode Nate and I sit down to try and parse out a topic that is FAR too big for one episode - bouldering tactics. We intended for this to be a 2-parter, but it ended up being over 3 hours total, so we're making it a 3 part series instead.  You can find the new Crag Kit and Boulder Bag at www.powercompanyclimbing.com/essential-elements We don't tweet.

It's been a hectic few weeks (months) over here, and I wanted to give you all an update on what we've been working on. So many exciting things coming!  I also wanted to play you a short clip of a podcast episode I recently listened to that needs to get into more ears. Episode 11 of Sends and Suffers with Melissa Utomo - even though I knew of the situation - was eye opening for me. I think you'll want to hear it.  Melissa on Sends and Suffers on Apple Podcasts Melissa on Sends and Suffers on Spotify Support the IndieGoGo!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you’re a regular listener, you may remember the conversation from Episode 106 with trainer Joslynn Corredor about her experience with breast cancer and identity after a double mastectomy. Since we last spoke, Jos has created a GoFundMe scholarship program for women who are going through similar situations to train with her. We all know that once being an athlete has become part of our identity, having it stripped away can be devastating. Jos aims to restore that identity for other women. You can donate to the GoFundMe at:   https://www.gofundme.com/f/strength-after-a-mastectomy?utm_medium=sms&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=p_susi-sms-welcome   You can find Jos online at bodyenroute.com   Other good resources for more information and other non-profit organizations doing great things:  https://www.politetumor.com/ https://thebreasties.org/ https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/early-detection-of-breast-cancer/   We don't tweet.

This is one of the most special conversations I've ever been a part of.
