Let’s climb…
So my wife and I are fans of Dancing with the Stars tv show, but I was on the couch thinking wouldn’t it be cool to have a reality competition show in that same format of Dancing with the Stars but with climbers.
So there would be a certain number of professional climbers and each of them would get paired with a “star!” Now a star could range from past or current professional athletes, tv/movie stars, influencers, and honestly anybody in between that’s either been considered a celebrity at some point in their life.
Since it would be a climbing competition show instead of dancing, the duos would have to climb together on different type of routes indoor and outdoors. But each duo would be assigned a specific category for that night of competition like dancing with the stars are assigned a certain type of dance prior to performing to rehearse than perform on national tv. So examples would be a dynamic/dyno, static, jug haul, lead, top rope, bouldering, tension board, campusing, and projecting. Now just like dancing with the stars some nights are going to be tougher than others because of the certain type of climbing the star will be doing, but like the show they will have time to practice and have their professional climber work with them so it’s all fair you know!
Now this is my list of professional climbers that I would pick for the show to be paired up with celebrities and their years climbing:
- Adam Ondra — 29+ years
- Janja Garnbret — 17+ years
- Jakob Schubert — 25+ years
- Alex Megos — 20+ years
- Chris Sharma — 30+ years
- Stefano Ghisolfi — 20+ years
- Seb Bouin — 20+ years
- Brooke Raboutou — 20+ years
- William Bosi — 15+ years
- Daniel Woods — 25+ years
- Sasha DiGiulian — 20+ years
- Tomoa Narasaki — 20+ years
- Sean Bailey — 15+ years
- Shawn Raboutou — 20+ year
Now I want to hear your opinion about this idea for the show and what celebrities you want paired with these climbers!
