Alex Climbs El Cap in Yosemite Episode One Intro
In this episode, I’m hanging out with one of my oldest adventure friends, Alex Temus—aka “Alex Kayak” in my phone, because that’s how we met 8 years ago at a random BYU kayak club night.
We recorded this on the road heading to a canyoneering trip (during an eclipse, no less), and covered everything from how Alex got into climbing to what it was like sleeping on the side of El Capitan for 4 days straight. We also talk about:
- Growing up in an outdoorsy family and getting the “adventure bug”
- What it really takes to climb the Nose of El Cap
- That one time Alex fell in Zion and became low-key famous with search & rescue
- How having a stoked friend group changes everything
Advice for anyone looking to get started in climbing or any new adventure
