“Spector Royale” V7

First time climbing outdoors in a longgg time and getting to do it with @joshlevin94 at red rocks was truly a bucket list moment for me. This was my first hard climb I’ve sent outside and it meant a lot to me after a draining and amazing month in Vegas for @ninjawarrior, it’s time to start locking in on climbing again 🤩

What does it take to become an American Ninja Warrior champion? Training at the highest level takes more than just mastering the obstacles. Season 18 champion Josiah Pippel shared with Inside Action Sports how his training for Season 18 differed from previous seasons, including the physical and mental preparation that helped him get ready for competition.

Along with Charlie Ball, Mazeiah Andrade and Jackson Erdos, Josiah prepared for Season 18 under a program designed by ninja veteran Joe Capo. 💪 After winning Season 18, it looks like Pippel’s hard work and preparation paid off! 🏆

📖 Get the full story on Josiah’s Season 18 journey and more in Volume 3 of Inside Action Sports magazine.
