#73: Ethan Salvo — Don’t Try Hard, What Makes Squamish Special, V15 in Squamish vs CO, What’s Next In Squamish Bouldering, and Being On Team ANTIGRAV
“Motherf*cking Squamish beta, don’t try hard!” — Nalle Hukkataival
Squamish is having a renaissance and Ethan Salvo is part of the team of young guns making it happen.
Him and his crew are repeating the hardest boulders Squamish has, and adding their new ones to the list. And that’s special, because these boulders just don’t get done very often. Not by locals. Not by pro’s. Not be anyone other than absolute technical masters.
That’s because Squamish is different. The technical ability to climb hard here is unique and when you combine that ability with the strength this new age crew is bringing, lines are getting opened that are hard physically, technically, mentally, and condition wise. Sending hard in Squamish is something you earn. But when you do earn that ability, it seems to translate well to anywhere else.
If you can climb V15 in Squamish, you can climb V15 in CO… But the reverse doesn’t seem to be true. So let’s find out — what makes Squamish special?
SHOW NOTES:
- FLOAT - a squamish bouldering film
- ANTIGRAV
- Ride The Lightning (josh)
- Cursed Climbing
- At Home in the Muddy Water
- Zen in the Art of Archery
