The Chalk Talk Climbing Podcast won’t be launching in full until August 1st, 2014, but since I had the opportunity to speak with John about his preparations as the chief routesetter for the comp, and his climbing team’s preparations as competitors, I thought it would be a great opportunity to share this first episode with the world ahead of the comp date.<br> John has set for almost all of the SCS and ABS youth national competitions in the US since 2008 and brings his years of insight to our discussion.<br> Related Links:<br> <br> * Stone Moves Climbing Gym – <a title="www.stonemoves.com" href="http://www.stonemoves.com" target="_blank">www.stonemoves.com</a><br> * USA Climbing – <a title="www.usaclimbing.org" href="http://www.usaclimbing.org" target="_blank">www.usaclimbing.org</a><br> * FiveTen – <a title="www.fiveten.com" href="http://www.fiveten.com" target="_blank">www.fiveten.com</a><br> * Organic Climbing – <a title="www.organicclimbing.com" href="http://www.organicclimbing.com" target="_blank">www.organicclimbing.com</a><br> * Hammer Nutrition – <a title="www.hammernutrition.com" href="http://www.hammernutrition.com" target="_blank">www.hammernutrition.com</a><br> <br> Photo Gallery:<br> Thanks for listening and be sure to leave a review for<a title="Chalk Talk, A Climbing Industry Podcast on itunes!" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/chalk-talk-climbing-industry/id896012347?mt=2" target="_blank"> Chalk Talk, A Climbing Industry Podcast on itunes!</a><br> <br>
