0:00.0	Hello, friends, and welcome to the Nugget Climbing Podcast.
0:05.1	This is your host, Stephen Dimmit.
0:07.4	The Paris Olympics wrapped up this weekend.
0:10.0	Climbing took place this last week.
0:11.9	It was so exciting.
0:12.9	I hope you guys got a chance to watch it.
0:14.8	I watched everything.
0:16.1	It was so exciting.
0:18.1	And I could think of no one better to do an Olympic recap episode with than Allison
0:22.8	Vest. Allison is my guest today. She's been on the podcast twice before, but in case you need
0:28.0	a refresher, Allison is a three-time Canadian national champion. She was the first Canadian
0:32.8	woman to climb V-13, and she's now climbed as hard as V-14 on rock. She retired from competition a few years ago.
0:40.4	She lives in Salt Lake City now, and she is still very connected to the competition world. She
0:46.0	lived with an Olympian for many years, Kyra Kondi, one of her best friends. Allison and
0:52.4	Kyra do a podcast together called Circle Up, where they talk about
0:55.8	all things competition climbing. So, yeah, Allison is very deeply immersed in the competition world.
1:02.2	Unfortunately, she's dealing with an injury right now and isn't able to climb. But fortunately,
1:06.9	for us, that means she was willing to jump on a last minute podcast with me and talk about
1:12.5	the Olympics. We actually recorded this yesterday. This episode is hot off the press. I hope you
1:19.5	like it. Please enjoy Allison Vest.
1:24.1	Cause, cast, cast. No one can do it like we do it, like we do it, like we do it, like we do it, like we do it, like we do it.
1:35.4	How was watching the Olympics? I didn't even ask if you had watched the Olympics. I just assumed, of course, Allison has watched everything.
