The Gumby Dreams Podcast: Recent Episodes
Gumby Dreams
We're two climbers from Cleveland, Ohio. Join us as we talk about building and starting our own co-op climbing gym (Paradiso Climbing Co-Op), the latest and greatest news in the climbing world, all the dumb shit we see at crags and gyms, and everything else that comes to our feeble little minds. Tune in to follow us on our journey to be sponsored by a craft brewery and finally send the pink one in the corner. Email us at gumbydreams@gmail.com!Follow us on Instagram @gumbydreams!
It's Season 2 Episode 1! We have a great episode lined up for y'all today.
Daniel and Jack join us to talk about their recent send of Eco Terrorist V11, the hardest boulder in Ohio! We pick their brain on what the process of projecting Eco was, how a change in beta opened up their send, and what could be next!
We also talk some very pedantic rules and opinions on climbing achievements. Do chalk marks count as beta? Do victory whips count as sends?

There are really two different kinds of climbing - indoors and outdoors. And the crossover between the two is not as big as you might think it is when you start climbing. The boys talk about the differences between gyms and crags, including the mental game of being outside.

This week we completely change gears and have a real, serious, dare we say...genuine? Conversation about climbing. Climbing is getting more popular everyday, the old guard is worried about overcrowded gyms and crags, the impact of all these people, and the ever shifting soul and identity of the sport.
So, what should we be doing as climbers? Complain about the gumbies? Well...of course. But on a serious note, what can we do to make the community a better place?
The boys give their thoughts on the outlook of climbing and the role gyms can play in the evolution of our beloved activity.
