0:00.0	Hello, friends, and welcome to the Nugget Climbing Podcast. This is your host, Stephen Dimmit.
0:08.4	Martin Keller is back on the show. Martin is a teacher and an elite boulderer based in Switzerland,
0:15.4	and this guy is so impressive. If you haven't heard his first episode, he was on in episode 109,
0:20.8	about a year and a half ago.
0:22.2	That was a great one.
0:23.6	But this is a stand-alone episode.
0:26.3	I was able to meet up with Martin in person in Magicwood over the summer.
0:31.1	We recorded this in late June, so I've been sitting on it for a while.
0:35.5	And yeah, I'm really excited to share it. Martin is
0:38.4	passionate about the climbing in Switzerland. It was really fun to meet up with him at the boulders in
0:43.9	Magic Wood. I got to see his project. He came and watched me try Octopussy, which was my project
0:49.6	for the trip. And then he came over to the Airbnb and we recorded this on the deck during an epic
0:55.7	thunderstorm. So yeah, this was a really fun one. Martin is very thoughtful about his climbing. He is
1:02.2	a coach. He has a lot of private clients. He's 45 years old and has been improving steadily
1:07.5	throughout his whole career. And he is absolutely crushing. He's climbing harder than
1:12.9	ever. Earlier this year, he sent one of his hardest boulders to date. It's called Gateway, B-16, or
1:19.9	8C-plus, and Martin did the first ascent of it after it broke. It was originally put up as a
1:25.9	V-14 by Jimmy Webb, I believe. We talk about that
1:28.9	in the episode. But yeah, we talked about his send and his journey to doing one of his hardest
1:33.5	climbs and so much more. This was a really fun one. Martin always brings the nuggets, and I hope you
1:40.9	enjoy. This is a patron-only episode, so I'm going to give you the first hour for free.
1:46.7	The full version is about an hour and 50 minutes,
