On Episode 261 of the Enormocast, I connect with highball boulderer, Timmy Kang, to reflect on life, his youth, and the completion a major project. In December 2022, Timmy did 5 major Highballs in Bishop in a day, including the feared and revered Too Big to Flail. The forthcoming film, Focus, was made by Timmy and friends to document the audacious day. Through the runup and sending of the project, Timmy delved into all the emotions and reflections requisite in climbing dangerous and difficult things. He discovered incidents and influences throughout his life that lead him directly to the top of that last boulder and for now, the pinnacle of his career. But of course, there’s more to come from an over-stoked Timmy Kang.
