Surprise! Alex Johnson has been climbing and competing at a high level for over 20 years. In this episode we dive into her upbringing, how climbing competitions have changed, FFA's, and..... you guessed it..... other stuff too. Fritz demands to be included and Nate is still Sam's uncle! Enjoy losers!

You may know Mike Call from such classic climbing films as Best of the West, Big Game, and Frequent Flyers. These films are foundational for many climbers and have inspired multiple generations. We're talking some real 'best of all time' type shit. Please enjoy the content and BEWARE OF SHARKS!

'Best of the West' and 'Big Game' available on YouTube!!

Tristan Chen is a climber and fantastic human from Massachusetts. In this episode, the boys reminisce about the past, talk about Tristan's experience with Leukemia, and chat about why Tristan doesn't think that Keenan Takahashi dresses well. Sam disagrees. THE SUPER VILLAIN HAS ARRIVED. 

Please excuse our sub-par audio for the first 20 minutes. It's gets better. It's Sam's fault. 

OMG Nate has a foot fetish? Absolutely. What's also true is Michaela Kiersch is an all-around great human being and we appreciate her sitting down with us to discuss sending La Rambla, growing up in Chicago, and finding balance in her busy life. The boys are sleepy on this one, Michaela holds the episode together. Praise be!

Sam's stepdad Mike joins the boys in chatting about growing up in Idaho, a recent chipping controversy, and potential that OnlyFans has to send climbing into the stratosphere! Strap in dummies! Also, Nate forgets how to spell George. But it's ok, we still love him. <3

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Eric Zschiesche. Eric has been climbing/bouldering for nearly 50 years and is in it for the love of the game! From bouldering in the 1970s, to risky solos on bridges, this one is a real treat. 

Just the two boys on this one! Sam and Nate talk about their love of reality tv, followed by Nate chronicling his past struggles of addiction and recovery. As a special treat, Nate talked directly into a plastic cup of boba tea for 30 minutes. Also Andy makes an appearance, whoever that is.  

Sam stays up way past his bedtime to chat with Anthony Chertudi. Anthony is known for developing many classic boulder problems around Utah such as Zero (V12), Spiritwalker (V13/14), and Black #1 (V12). But climbing aside, Anthony's harrowing experience with Lyme Disease is the topic of discussion for today. Prepare yourself as shit does indeed get real. 

Welcome to The No Rope Show! For the inaugural episode, Nate and Sam sit down with Ronnie Jenkins to discuss the history of southern bouldering, Ronnie's personal climbing history, and his advice for younger climbers. It's a hoot of a time. Nate laughs a lot, Sam talks too much, and Ronnie doesn't know what to do with his hands.
