  • Summary

  • Russ Clune is a Legend. I once introduced him as climbing's Forrest Gump, because since the 1980's he's been there for many of climbing's most impactful moments. A Gunks local who has traveled widely to climb on every type of rock, in every style imaginable, he's a living thread from before sport climbing to now, and if you're ever lucky enough to meet him, will eagerly regale you with those stories.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Lynn Hill’s arrival on the Gunks climbing scene.
    • Working on Vandals with Lynn.
    • When Lynn became THE Lynn Hill.
    • The pros and cons of the yoyo tactic.
    • Clune's new book, The Lifer: Rock Climbing Adventures in the Gunks and Beyond

    This week our patrons, The Secret Stoners Club, get's a bonus conversation with Russ discussing Jerry Moffatt, Wolfgang Gullich, Patrick Edlinger and more. Join for free and be entered to win a free copy of The Lifer!
