| 0:09.2 | Thanks for adventuring with us as we discover what incredible athletes and outdoor enthusiasts are doing all over the world. |
| 0:16.8 | Now here's your host, Kurt Linville. |
| 0:19.9 | Hello and happy Wednesday, everyone. |
| 0:23.0 | Today's show is about rock climbing and about highlining. |
| 0:27.9 | And highlining is such an amazing sport. |
| 0:31.4 | The guest is Alonso Rodriguez, who just did a fantastic job sharing highlining with us. However, there was a technical glitch |

| 1:48.8 | that people are interested in. So if you feel the urge to share a comment or to click some stars |
