0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Climbing.
0:04.7	One of the best things I ever did for my own climbing was to build a climbing wall in my garage.
0:10.4	It was so easy to stick to a consistent training schedule, and I always had really high-quality
0:16.7	sessions on my own wall because there were no distractions, and I got super strong, the two winners that I climbed on that board. But it's a ton of work to build your own home wall. First, you have to design the thing. Then you have to build it. Then you have to decide which holds you want and order tons of holds and bolts. And then you have to set all of the boulder problems and routes. And I'm guessing that most of you listening to this
0:37.7	don't have time to do all that. Luckily, the folks at grasshopper climbing designed the perfect
0:43.1	solution. The grasshopper board was designed to give you an entire climbing gym experience right

1:11.2	If you want to learn more, head over to grasshopper climbing.com or check them out on

1:20.6	to their sales team to find out where you can try out the Grasshopper board yourself
1:24.6	and which board solution might be right for you.
1:32.0	And be sure to tell them I sent you because the folks at grasshopper are offering you guys,
1:40.0	listeners to this podcast, $500 off when you order a fully kitted out 8 by 10 foot grasshopper board.
1:44.5	You can save $500 or even more if you upgrade to a larger board.
1:48.7	Again, that's grasshopper climbing.com to check out the grasshopper board.
1:53.5	This episode is also brought to you by Rhino Skin Solutions.
1:58.5	This stuff is my go-to when it comes to taking care of my skin for climbing.
2:03.4	I use the repair cream almost every single night all the time. I use it multiple times a night if I'm climbing in a sharp, crumpy area like Waco tanks or Leavenworth, Washington.
2:09.9	I love that place, but it's really sharp. If I come home from a day of climbing and my skin's
