Who was the first dirtbag? In collaboration with filmmakers Chad Heddleston and Parker Michels-Boyce, we go back in time to meet Jan Conn. Jan and Herb Conn took what might have been the first climbing road trip, created one of the first climbing magazines and films and pioneered first ascents across the country. Their greatest contribution to our sport though might be their commitment to utilizing their time to follow their passions. In 1945, that was about as radical as it gets. Catching Pinecones TrailerChad's Roanoke Star ClimbWatch Climbing Gold on YouTubeThanks to our sponsorsThe North Face Check out Summit Series at thenorthface.com Kodiak Cakes Find Kodiak products at your local grocery store, they're the ones with the bear on the box or learn more at Kodiakcakes.comTurtlebox Take your music anywhere turtleboxaudio.comFactor Eat smart at FactorMeals.com/ClimbingGold50OFF and use code CLIMBINGGOLD50OFF to get 50% off and free daily greens per boxLMNT Get your free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase at www.drinklmnt.com/climbinggold Want Climbing Gold ad free?
