0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome to another episode of The Nugget Climbing Podcast. This is your host, Stephen
0:07.7	Dimit. And today's episode is a bonus episode available for patrons who support the Nugget for
0:14.8	$5 per month or more. For those of you who are new to the podcast, welcome. It's great to have you here.
0:21.6	And if you don't know what these follow-ups are, from time to time, I like to go back and have some of my
0:25.8	favorite guests back on the show. So I've already interviewed Emil, his first episode, I believe
0:32.0	is episode 85. I highly recommend that one if you haven't listened to it. And in these follow episodes, I have
0:38.9	the guests back on, in this case, Emil, and talk about what they've been up to since our first
0:44.0	conversation. And usually I try to time it with a big send of theirs or try to make it more
0:50.3	topical and do a deep dive on a geeky topic that the climbing geeks you guys that
0:55.6	love these geeky episodes will enjoy like the training stuff we might go deeper into finger

1:13.6	two worlds in Switzerland. That's a super famous rock climb. It looks incredible. And the guy did it.
1:21.0	Emile is a guy who started climbing relatively late in life at 16 years old. He's had this goal
1:26.9	of climbing V-15 for a long,
1:29.8	long time. We talked about that in our first episode. And the guy freaking did the thing.
1:34.3	It's so, so impressive to see how far he's come in his climbing in the last few years.
1:40.4	This was a really fascinating episode because Emil tried a totally different strategy in his last
1:46.5	season of training this past fall, which led to him climbing his first V-15 and feeling stronger
1:52.7	than ever on some other boulders that he tried. He actually gained 15 pounds, six and a half kilos of
1:59.9	body weight over the course of the fall season while he was training,
2:03.7	then went to Switzerland and climbed his hardest ever Boulder problem, which is so cool and
