Rock climbing gyms have popped up all over Montana and have dedicated members. People love rock climbing because it's a great workout and you can enjoy it with friends. Bozeman even has a rock climbing gym, The Spire. So it's no surprise that a network created a rock climbing competition show.

Montana State announced that a former Bobcat competed on the first season of the HBO show The Climb.

The Climb has several experienced rock climbers together and puts them through several challenges at a chance of winning $100,000. The show's executive producer is Aquaman star Jason Mamoa.

The Montana State alumnus to appear on the show is Brad Burns. Originally from Wyoming, Brad earned a dual degree in cell biology and neuroscience from Montana State. While attending Montana State, he found out how wonderful of an area the Gallatin Valley is for rock climbing and kept his passion going through the years.

We won't give away any spoilers on how Brad does on The Climb, but all the episodes are available to stream on HBO Max.

If you aren't into rock climbing, this reality competition show is probably not for you, but we should all support our current and former Bobcats.
