15d ago2:24:18

2:24:18

Big hitter Matt Fultz joins us this week. Matt's climbing resume speaks for itself, he's near the very top of the list when it comes to sending 8C+ boulders. He's achieved a huge amount and yet still it was fascinating to hear that he is not immune to the same moments of self doubt that the rest of us experience. Matt's a great guy and it was a ple…

Legend of British Climbing Ben Bransby joins us on the pod this week! Ben is definitely not someone to blow his own trumpet but he has climbed very hard in trad, sport in boulder over the years. He's also put up some incredible first ascents, gone on winter expeditions and even competed! He's done it all so we thought we'd ramble on about some of i…

E105: Sam & Aidan's Eras tour, genetics, asymmetrical edge controversies and grasshoppers 1:43:13

2M ago1:43:13

1:43:13

A true ramble pod this week bordering on the irreverent in the opening 20 minutes but we do calm down and have a proper discussion eventually! Amongst some wildly off-topic rambles we chat about climbing genetics and we eventually get to the main topic of the podcast which was to attempt to choose which decade of climbing we would have most liked t…

1:15:16

We're going back in time to the halcyon days of a couple of months ago this week! An episode we recorded and then forgot about!

The author of the Lake District (Aidan's home area) boulder guide, Greg Chapman joins us this week.

E95: Sam & Aidan are talking CASH! 1:34:19

3M ago1:34:19

1:34:19

In this episode, amongst other things, we're pondering about the remuneration for top climbers. Are they being exploited? Are they underpaid? Should they just be grateful to be able to climb for a living and accept that they can't expect to be set up for the future? We dive in, in a roundabout sort of way... If you're enjoying the podcast and would…
