Ep. 20 - Thirty Years of Walls
Industry legend Louie Anderson spends an hour helping to flesh out the evolution of climbing walls in North America. Features talk of Louie's start in the biz, the influence of landscape architects in the early days, setting 20ft comp routes with Tony Yaniro, and what gyms he considers to be our guiding light into the future.
