When climbing was a fringe sport, the epic tales of achievement were told around the campfire. As the sport continues to grow, Alex Honnold and co-host Fitz Cahall grab the mic to share stories from the people who define climbing by pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo of the previous generation.

The Fighter
When protests erupted in Iran in fall of 2022, human rights activist and professional climber Nasim Eshqi was climbing in France. As she watched the uprising back home unfold, Nasim knew that returning home at that moment would mean arrest and imprisonment at the hands of the government. She doubled down on her criticism of Iran’s repressive regime and used her climbing to bring the struggle to the international climbing community.

Customer Reviews
Amazing, even if you are not a climber
I am not a climber. I am aware Alex Honold was famous, but other than that not especially interested in climbing. But this podcast features great storytelling. It’s thoughtful, and often funny. It reminds me of This American Life or something. It’s just enjoyable to be wrapped up in these episodes for a bit. I’m often sad they are over.
Fantastic Storytelling. Need more episodes!
I was expecting great climbing knowledge and insight, but I’ve been very impressed by the storytelling, the editing and the insightful questions and conversations. Even journalistic or editorial would be a good way to describe it. I can’t get enough. Can we get another season soon, please? What sponsor do I need to talk to in order to make this happen.
Solid content
First podcast that ever drew me in
