Outstanding... but hoping to hear some Colorado focus in the coming episodes!
I get it. Yosemite is the epicenter. And this is Alex’s podcast. It has been well designed and a great listen... especially the Red Rock episode. But as a Boulder native who grew up with the local lore, it would be great to have some of that perspective. For example: much was made in the Bird episode about Kauk et al’s free ascents being game changing, whereas Roger Briggs’ FFA of Death and Transfiguration in Boulder had happened several years previously. I really appreciate Alex’s take on the state of climbing, especially the nuances of which rules matter. Looking forward to hearing the take on the bolt wars, and hope that Christian Griffith’s bolting of Eldo gets a fresh take. Thanks all!
