Russ Clune on Lynn Hill, Gunks Climbing and Vandals
Russ Clune talks Lynn Hill, the Gunks, and Vandals.
Russ Clune is a Legend. I once introduced him as climbing's Forrest Gump, because since the 1980's he's been there for many of climbing's most impactful moments. A Gunks local who has traveled widely to climb on every type of rock, in every style imaginable, he's a living thread from before sport climbing to now, and if you're ever lucky enough to meet him, will eagerly regale you with those stories.
In this episode, we discuss:
Lynn Hill’s arrival on the Gunks climbing scene.
Working on Vandals with Lynn.
When Lynn became THE Lynn Hill.
The pros and cons of the yoyo tactic.
Clune's new book, The Lifer: Rock Climbing Adventures in the Gunks and Beyond
This week our patrons, The Secret Stoners Club, get's a bonus conversation with Russ discussing Jerry Moffatt, Wolfgang Gullich, Patrick Edlinger and more. Join for free and be entered to win a free copy of The Lifer!
