A Conversation with Ben Fenton, of Balancing Acts.

*Originally released March 18th, 2024. This has always been one of my favourite interviews, and I’ve been wanting to give it a proper re-release for our current audience. It’s almost 2 years old now, so a few parts might feel a little dated, but I’d like to think it still holds up.*

Ben is the Founder of Balancing Acts, a Climber, and a Designer, among many other things.

In this episode we discuss: What’s with all the cool people from Calgary? being from a family of climbers, Alterior Design, the inspiration behind Balancing Acts, knitting, the Drum and bass / Bouldering Venn diagram, MiniDV,Kitchener Ontario, the early 2000s, comparing old skate videos to old climbing videos, outdoor > indoor, and we didn’t invent anything.
