Climbing can be, er, kinda selfish. We go up, we go down—and then we do it all over again. It's also where Oliver and Alyssa’s interests diverge. For some, that’s a dealbreaker.

Maybe. For the Love of Climbing is brought to you by Deuter USA (https://www.deuter.com/us-en), Gnarly Nutrition (https://gognarly.com/), Allez Outdoors (https://allezoutdoor.com/), and presented by Patagonia (https://www.patagonia.com/home/).Music by: Kakurenbo and Chad Crouch.
