Tommy Caldwell is perhaps the most well-known and accomplished rock climber on the planet. ? ?He is best known for his recent ascent of El Capitan’s Dawn Wall? with partner Kevin Jorgensen?,? ?a project that? several years to complete and garnered major mainstream media attention. ?Tommy has also climbed ?the hardest rock routes in the United States, including sport climbs of 5.15 and is also a world-class alpine climber. ?In the sixth and final episode of season one of Afterglow, Tommy ?speaks at length about how writing a memoir added value to his life by forcing him to be completely vulnerable. Madigan and Caldwell also chat candidly about his relationship with Dawn Wall partner Kevin Jorgensen, and how it was a marked departure from other partnerships in his climbing career; how his upbringing allows him to view life as a constant opportunity for growth, and that he wants to be remembered for personal qualities rather than athletic feats. The conversation meanders to also cover the formative influence of Tommy's father, how having a family hasn't changed his approach to climbing, and how hardships have helped him grow as an athlete ... and more importantly ... as a person. ?I?nspired by ?Tommy?

These include ?the strong connection to partners and nature, ?the ?physical and mental mastery? of the sport?, and the rewards of exploring oneself and the world through climbing. ?His work asks what compels men and women to dedicate their lives to the challenges and deprivations of living in a vertical world?. ? Doug Robinson is a?n internationally-respected mountaineer?, guide and backcountry skier??. He is also known for ??his poetic writings about the mountains and why we climb them. Robinson has been called the "father of clean climbing" by Climbing Magazine and the “modern John Muir” for his lifelong devotion to California’s High Sierra. ?Having cut his teeth during Yosemite’s Golden Age?, Doug has accomplished more during his climbing career than most could ever dream of.?... and is a major feature in Noble's latest book "Why We Climb." ? I?n the fifth conversation of season one of Afterglow, Madigan, Noble and Robinson take a deep dive into a wide variety of climbing topics, most notably the philosophical motivations and renderings behind the pursuit. The trio talk at length about the power of partnerships, how adversity can be used to ultimate gain in everyday life, ?how climbers process the death of partners and ultimately "why we climb." Additionally, Chris speaks candidly about the conversations contained in his new book. Topics include his own personal journey ?behind the book and how the conversations provide ?a template for living a fully realized life?. He also speaks to how ?lessons learned on cliff faces, frozen waterfalls and alpine peaks can be brought home and used to benefit society as a whole?. ? Throughout the conversation Doug lends sage advice and insights from his 60+ year climbing career. Robinson quips, “?W?e start by looking for handholds and we end up with higher consciousness." It's a powerful conversation that we hope you enjoy! Inspired by ?Chris and Doug?

Brendan Leonard is the creator the popular website Semi-Rad.com. He is also the author of Sixty Meters to Anywhere, a deeply honest and original story of substance abuse, addiction and recovery. Leonard ultimately found personal redemption and identity through a “transformative personal journey, that shows the power of climbing and the courage that lies within.” His “unflinchingly honest” memoir depicts how he deals with addiction through skills he’s learned while climbing, namely perseverance, patience and accountability. We talk at length about how he connects with people through his writing, how a gift from his brother changed the direction of his life, his relationship with his 70-year-old mother and where he derives his inspiration. ??Leonard speaks openly about self-loathing, mistakes, failures….. and ultimate redemption. It’s a lesson that we could all learn a thing or two from. Inspired by Brendan Leonard?

Red Bull athlete Will Gadd is the most accomplished ice climber on the planet. In addition to his cutting edge feats in the ice climbing arena, Gadd is also a world-class paraglider and kayaker that holds world records in both genres. However, Gadd would be the first to tell us that he’s really not a gifted athlete, but rather “a serial obsessive compulsive about learning sports.” In our conversation Gadd speaks to how his success comes from wrestling, and ultimately dancing, with fear…. but only in a calculated and meaningful way. Additionally, we talk intimately about how and why he loves to live dangerous dreams and come home alive, how he deals with failure through irrational optimism, the positive power of negative thinking and his feeling of indebtedness to the mountain tribe.
