SEASON THREE: The Road to the 2020 Olympics with Adam Ondra, the 26-year-old Czech climber that is taking the world by storm. Although most people outside the climbing community have not heard his name, I guarantee that will change the moment he steps onto the stage at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Adam Ondra is the man to beat and for a lot of reasons. Adam is the only person to have won both the lead and the bouldering world cup title in the same year. And he’s the only person to have climbed 5.15d. Or flashed 5.15a. All while slaying V15 and 16’s. Ondra is that formidable. Only a small handful of climbers can compete, except of course, in the discipline known as Speed Climbing, the third discipline in the combined format for the 2020 Olympics. If you ever wondered what it will take to win a Gold Medal, or what the Tomoa Skip in Speed happens to be, you are in for a treat. Adam shares what he believes will be the winning recipe. “The most important event will come down to boulderi

SEASON THREE: The Road to 2020 Olympics w John Burgman Podcast Host: Dan Goodwin As most everyone has heard, there will be three disciplines featured as a 'Combined Sport' in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Those three disciplines include speed climbing, bouldering, and lead. Unfortunately, most people are confused as to the format and the process as of which the athletes will be chosen. Until I started digging deeper, I naively assumed every country would be represented, but as I quickly discovered, that isn’t necessarily the case. In fact, there is no guarantee that United States or any other major country will be represented. How can that be when we have so many climbers climbing at such a high level? That’s a really good question. Well, you are about to find out. With me, I have John Burgman with Climbing magazine, who has been reporting on the World Cup Competition scene for as long as I can remember. So, I couldn’t think of anyone better to help us understand the format and how the at

ABOUT: Hazel Findlay is one of the boldest female rock climbers in the world today.  Trad climbing at the age of seven on the limestone sea cliffs of Pembroke, it didn't take long for Hazel's talents to be revealed.  For six straight years, she was the British junior champion.  But at 16, Hazel decided to focus on outdoor climbing, specializing in trad and big wall climbing.  In a relatively short period of time, Hazel established herself as a dominating force, free climbing El Capitán in Yosemite Valley, CA., three times on three different routes: Golden Gate 5.13a, PreMuir 5.13c/d, and Free Rider 5.13a - all 33 to 34 pitches respectively. Naturally, this has caught many people's attention.  In 2013, Hazel was awarded Climbing Magazine's prestigious Golden Piton Award.  Although I heard of Hazel Findlay many years before, hearing the whispers of a chic being as bold as any dude out there, she really didn't come onto my radar screen until 2011, when she, along Alex Honnold, captured the 2nd and 3rd ascent o

In Honor of 'Martin Luther King', we proudly introduce Kai Lightner, one of America's most influential rock climbers on the scene today. "I obviously knew going into it, I was doing something different, especially in my community.  It was a big deal I was doing it because no one rock climbed.  And the way out typically in an African American community is by being a basketball player.  Or a football player.   Doing sports along those lines.  So by being a rock climber, I was definitely being outside the box."

TO SECEDE OR NOT TO SECEDE? That is the question. Shortly after the controversial election, Dan Goodwin, the president and CEO of Triple Black TV, connected wth Marcus Ruiz Evans, the author of California’s Next Century 2.0: Economic Renaissance, and leader of the YesCalifornia campaign for independence, to ask some hard questions: 1) What do you say to all the states that feel the same? Like Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and New York, just to name a few. Are we abandoning them during their hour of need and leaving them at the mercy of Donald Trump? 2) Will California have its own military force?
