Great show, but!
Just heard the first three episodes, loving it, and excited to hear the rest! Honestly, though, it’s (so far) desperately lacking in critical and diversity perspectives: the climbers appropriation of native American spiritual sites, which makes the history of climbing quite complicated; the predominant whiteness and maleness of the sport that is reproduced here by the choice of guests (though the interview with Joanne was super interesting!); not even speaking of adaptive climbing; the first three episodes also present “turning points” in climbing, all from the US, yet the show hosts claim that the Europeans had been far, far ahead of the US. I guess this is all to say that while I highly respect the hosts amd enjoy the show, considering this is 2021, I wish the producers were a bit more reflexive.
