Just a few thoughts
We’re biased, but our favorite new podcast this week features Garrett Gregor interviewed by John Burgman. Garrett coached and set routes for myriad top climbers during his tenure at ABC Kids including several future Olympians. He also was the sole US representative on the Tokyo Olympics routesetting team. This is CBJ’s very first podcast episode! We hope you enjoy, and keep an eye out for more – our team will be speaking with routesetters, coaches, and managers from across the industry.
