![]() I’ve not found – I’ve had a Rab jacket for, like, six years, and I’ve not found anything that is as warm or as cozy as it is. I display my ignorance and I’m sorry for that, but I do really like talking to people who are not boulderers, who are not sport climbers, to see a little bit more about our sport – all aspects of it.Īaron is a Rab athlete, and I don’t know if you know what Rab is, but they’re actually my favorite clothing company for climbing, as far as jackets are concerned. I’m not an ice climber and that’s very apparent in this interview. We talk about all of that and I hope that you like it as much as I did. He trains super hard and he actually inspired me to check out this trainer in Boulder, named Connie, who he works with remotely. We dig in about what kind of person he is, how he juggles having two kids and a job – a full-time, very high stress job – and also doing all of these things on his time off. He tries really hard and he does hard climbs, but also just having the tenacity to go out in freezing cold temperatures and walk around by himself for hours and hours and hours, to find to new routes for everybody else to enjoy. He’s kind of a badass in Wyoming and he – I think the most notable thing about him that I learned is how stubborn and resilient and independent he is in what he does. He’s also done some big walls in Norway and he’ll tell you all about what he does. He’s put up over 100 first ascents, including My Morning Glory, which is water ice 5+ in Wyoming, and The Gambler, water ice 6+, also in Wyoming. I’m your host, Neely Quinn, and today we’re on episode 53 of the podcast, where I’m talking with Aaron Mulkey.Īaron is a 39-year old ice climber out of Cody, Wyoming and, in fact, he was dubbed ‘The Patriarch of Cody Ice’ by Alpinist Magazine. Neely Quinn: Welcome to the Training Beta podcast, where I talk with climbers and trainers about how we can get a little better at our favorite sport.
