It's not the Olympics, but it's just as important to local Ogden climber, Austin Hansel, who qualified for the IFSC World Youth Championships in New Caledonia. We've been following Austin for the last couple years and his growth in the sport of bouldering and speed climbing is not just respectful, but darn right crazy inspirational.

Sometimes it pays to listen to the OOA Show live. This week would be one of those weeks. For some unknown reason our podcast recording cut off after the first 10 minutes. A shame too as we were on a roll. We had a great show. So, we included the outline of stories we covered. Catch us LIVE at Slackwater Pizzeria on Fridays from 2:30 - 3:30ish. This coming Friday however, we're broadcasting live from Snowbasin.
