    The Path to Ascent with Kai Whaley

    Kai Whaley is one of the world's strongest boulderers. He doesn't boast of being such, but he is by virtue of being the youngest to climb a V16 graded boulder named Sleepwalker in Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area. The hardest routes in the world are one grade higher, V17, and he's close to climbing Return of the Sleepwalker, which adds a few more moves to earn the grade. Host Xander Pippin interviews Whaley, endeavoring to share some insights into working toward such difficult goals.
