Ep. 4 - World Cup Growing Pains

Eddie Fowke (The Circuit Climbing Magazine), Ángel Palacio (OnBouldering) and Graeme Alderson (The Climbing Works) contribute to an episode about the growing pains associated with a sport that has more athletes, wants more viewers, and needs more money. All interviews were recorded in Meiringen, Switzerland at the Haslital Mountain Festival and Boulder World Cup on April 8-9, 2017, before the IFSC formally apologized and cancelled their streaming deal with FloSports.
