RunOut #61: Jordan Comes Out

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.
