Enormocast 322: Beau Martino – The Content Climbing Creator

Subscribe

On Episode 322 of the Enormocast, we sit down with early climbing content creator, Beau Martino. Beau caught the Tiktok wave out of the 2020 pandemic by creating mostly one-person skits spoofing climbing and dirtbag life. By 2021, he’d started to build a “career” out of it as he set up his tripod in a climbing area near you to carry out silly and self-deprecating comedy for his 100k+ followers. All the while, he was actually living out of his Subaru Forester, climbing his butt off, and scraping together the road life. This lent and authenticity to his creative work that appealed to many, including your not so humble host. Though Beau has walked through the valley of the influencer, he feared no content, and the rod and staff of comedy was his protector. As Martino turns a corner to more mainstream acting and comedy writing, he looks back on his short but fiery career on the very small screen with aplomb.

On Episode 309 of the Enormocast, I reconnect with climber Anna Hazlenutt. Anna has built a career around her nom de plume (birth name Hazlett) starting out as an influencer making fun climbing based videos and evolving into a serious and skilled climber. Anna specializes in technical slabs and vertical rock, often tossing in a little spice like on her ascent of Once Upon a Time in the Southwest. Though Anna says that she often climbs scared, she’s found a way to harness that fear in unique and powerful ways. On this installment with Anna, we run down her recent trip to Madagascar with Matilda Söderlund, other climbing adventures since her previous appearance on the show, and her motivations as a climber and professional.
