Show Notes
This week I am Hanging with Owen May & Jay-T from the G-wood Crew.
G-wood was created over 20 years ago by the psyched Jay-T and his South Australia climbing mates. With no commercial gyms around they took it into their own hands to build a home wall in Goodwood SA. The now staple in the Adelaide scene Gwood has created an environment of show up, try hard and support that process.
If you are enjoying the show HIT THAT RATE BUTTON gives us a glowing review.

This week we are Hanging with Matt Burgess. I first heard about Matt when someone tagged me in a post of his. Matt was a large advocate for protecting the land around Mt Alexander allowing it to recover from the first that tore through the community last summer. As a local to Castelmaine VIC, Matt was deeply effected by the fires seeing first hand what they can do to communities, wildlife and nature in general. If you take anything from this episode, tread lightly on the land we are so incredibly lucky to walk upon. He's also a mad as coach and got to ask him some questions around his philosophies and avoiding burnouts!
In this episode of The HangTimes, Toms speaks about the BIG news happening around the country.

This week I am hanging with Rene Matihas. Rene is a 17yr old competitive climber who found his way into climbing only a short 4 years ago. Since then Rene has competed at a state level, a national level & on the youth world stage representing Australia. His drive and passion for climbing is full of inspiration and he carries such maturity in his tactics that got him to where he is today. So fun speaking to climbers of all ages and hearing their story.
