Jason goes on to say that the facility has a 50-foot-tall climbing wall. As the stars bring viewers to the facility, colorful walls map climbing sections for customers. Jason then explains why he’s so excited about the climbing gym.
“I grew up in Iowa, so there’s a special place to climb in the gym. There’s not a lot of climbing and you have to travel far,” Jason says. “I love being outside, but watching kids grow, teaching and watching them grow is so inspiring.”

Interestingly, Jason says he has always been a fan of rock climbing, even though he suffers from tendonitis. Unfortunately, this affects Jason’s workout regimen. Viewers can see the assistant massaging Jason’s bulky arm using his scraper tool.
MayoClinic shares, “Tendinitis is inflammation of the thick fibrous cords (tendons) that attach muscle to bone.” Unfortunately, “the condition causes pain and tenderness just outside the joint.”
As the video continues, Jason can be seen teaching his cousin how to climb in exchange for free surf lessons.
