Brian is the Texas Regional Director for the Access Fund. He represents the interests of rock climbers before policymakers, as well as public and private land managers.
Since 2017, he has added protections for climbing in the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Bull Creek, and successfully advanced legislation shielding landowners of liability from rock climbing. He was also able to permanently acquire and protect Medicine Wall and Monster Rock for climbing, and has opened the Inks Ranch for a forthcoming climbing festival.
Brian started climbing around 2000, and has climbed nationally and abroad, in locations such as Mexico, Germany, and Morocco. Brian is a 10th generation Texan who would&nbsp;argue you can climb year-round in his home state.

Ep 15 - Amber Caskey

Rock climbing podcasts are not all made the same, and Beyond the Rock is no different. It's obvious from the moment you start listening and that's what makes it great. Hosts Emilie Hernandez and Jeremy Arntz bring a unique dynamic to listeners as they interview professional and amateur rock climbers from all over the world. The dialogue between hosts and guests can range from what type of chalk one should use, to the deep issues our climbing communities need to change.
