Podcast. Episode Zero?

Podcasts
Written By Kris Hampton

I suppose it's high time we get this thing started.

Where it's going to go, how long it will last, and how often you'll see it, I have ZERO idea.  We'll just have to be surprised together.

For now, a quick intro to what I do know - which frankly, isn't much.

And I have NO IDEA why the play buttons aren't showing yet... I'm working on it.  If you click the big square (which obviously is NOT the universal symbol for Play), it will actually play.

We'll be on iTunes and maybe Stitcher soon, which I'll let you know about.

Kris Hampton

A climber since 1994, Kris was a traddie for 12 years before he discovered the gymnastic movement inherent in sport climbing and bouldering.  Through dedicated training and practice, he eventually built to ascents of 5.14 and V11. 

Kris started Power Company Climbing in 2006 as a place to share training info with his friends, and still specializes in working with full time "regular" folks.  He's always available for coaching sessions and training workshops.
