In this episode I share a discussion with my guest Adam Marriott, an amateur climber with experiences in both the Himalaya and Europe. We openly talk about why, where and when climbing and trekking is ideal. The physical and mental disciplines required for this often romanticized sport / endeavor are too numerous to cover in a short conversation and as such this joint discussion is over an hour in duration. From the world famous regions of the Nepali Himalaya to the Aiguilles d'Entreves, Gran Paradiso and Spanish Pyrenees, in Europe, we have both put ourselves forward to tackle these incredible geographical phenomena. Subjects covered here include, travel, training, equipment, weather, instruction, ego and naivety. So please sit back and enjoy this podcast.
