Jonathan Siegrist is a professional rock climber, widely regarded as one of the most prolific sport climbers in the world. He’s best known for pushing very hard sport routes, including numerous 5.15 ascents. This year he’s on track to reaching 100 routes rated 9a or harder. 🤯

But first, we discuss the latest local drama, from price hikes to redtags, and what it all means when you have to watch some kid put down the hackysack long enough to hike your project. 🚩

Last, Kalous closes things out with his acoustic rendition of the 1972 soft-rock classic “Brandy(You’re a Fine Girl)” — reimagined for climbing.

Patagonia Ambassador Josh Wharton, climbing partner Michael Larson and rigger Zack Smith tromped out to the Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming last fall to find a challenge on an obscure “mini-big wall” in the backcountry.

They managed to get a full alpine experience on Mixed Signals, a semi-secret, 5.13c-ish multipitch, complete with short weather windows and grass-filled cracks. Josh was in his element as he and Michael combatted difficult conditions and hard climbing with new tactics for staying comfortable and recovering well.

“That’s my favorite feeling of climbing, that feeling of barely doing it,” Josh says. “No expectations.” Photos: Ken Etzel ()

From / : We’re really psyched to help Patagonia spread the word about their new Free Wall Kit. We’ve been using it for the past few weeks, and loving it. The Free Wall Pack, in particular, is getting tons of comments from our friends! Check it all out at https://www.patagonia.com/free-wall-kit/ and be sure to listen to our new spot in our latest episode.

Margo Hayes is a professional climber, model, musician, and artist — and she’s best known as the first woman to climb 5.15a, a grade she reached not just once, but three times: La Rambla, Biographie, and Papichulo. In recent years, a battle with Lyme disease has made climbing at her limit difficult, and she’s channeled her energy into art, music, and writing. Her new book, *The Margo Method*, outlines her approach to climbing and health.

But first, we pore over the details of a very interesting, precedent-setting case involving a manslaughter conviction after a winter mountaineering ascent turns tragic.

Our final bit is a San Diego rock band called Half Hour Late, with their song Ain’t Nothing New.

Our favorite actor-turned-podcasting-climber Ryan Devlin joins us for movie night. We’re watching The Summit of the Gods, a French animated mountaineering film based on a Japanese manga of the same name. This film has received widespread praise for its artistic achievements, but does it hold up in fidelity to the real mountain-climbing experience? We discuss.
