BELAY ON! In this episode of Hustle and Pro get the skinny on rock climbing. Learn about the disciplines of Sport Climbing, Bouldering, and Speed Climbing, and why it might peak your interests for yourself or your family to try it.

Kyle Clinkscales started the US National Rock Climbing team in 1999 in Italy by accident and has since taken his love of the sport to new heights with gyms all over DFW. We have our eyes on one climber Kyle has coached, in particular — Plano’s own Claire Buhrfeind. She just might be our 2020 Olympics’ hometown hero.

So, harness up and enjoy this episode!
