This week I'm Hanging with Bryce Johnson.
Long term friend of the show.... and I guess friend of the host. Bryce and I met in high school, we lived together for 5 years, started climbing together and have basically belayed each other on every project we've had over the 7 years of climbing.
Bryce is one of my best friends, the sweetest caring rudest pain the arses I know but I love him dearly.
I was super happy to finally get Brycey on and I hope you all enjoy the coooool stylings of Bryce Johnson.
