It’s Jordan Cannon’s birthday, and today he joins us today for a special announcement.

Jordan is one of America’s most precocious big-wall trad climbers, who hadn’t been climbing all that long before he managed to eke out a free ascent of El Capitan. He’s since free climbed at least two routes on El Capitan in a day, including Golden Gate. Listeners will remember Jordan from episode #47, in which he and Mark Hudon joined your friendly podcast hosts for a pot of boiled meat and night of climbing history and ethical debates.

And for our final bit, Bradley Carter AKA Chum throws down with some original music.

We have a special episode coming out this week on the petroglyph controversy that you won’t want to miss. To access this and other bonus episodes, be sure to join the RunOut Rope Gun mafia at Patreon dot com.
