Host of the hit climbing podcast The Enormocast, Chris Kalous shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game.    -   Chris Kalous has been the voice of climbing for over a decade now, bringing more than 250 episodes of The Enormocast to our ears and our hearts as we drive to the crag, run laps in the gym, or fold laundry. His voice, wit, and stoke are instantly identifiable, and if you’ve been a climber for more than a few days you’ve surely enjoyed your fair share of Enormocast episodes. As a climber, Chris has embarked on epic trips the world over, put up impressive first ascents, and tackled climbs so sketchy my palms were sweating just talking with him about them in this interview. He’s a climber to the core, with a dirtbag’s heart and a punk rock aversion to authority and regulation. He’s also a dad, a musician, and a guy who’s trying to keep the stoke as he enters new chapters in his climbing life.
