Customer Reviews
Keep coming back
I don’t climb much anymore, but enormously always gets me back into it!!!
Living vicariously
I am a 72 year old, who lives in Iowa and doesn’t climb, but this is my favorite podcast. I have listened to most, if not all, of the episodes. The last episode #276 was so good it it motivated this 5 star review.
Excellent
As only an infrequent rock climber and mountaineer, I just discovered Chris’ podcast, but it is a excellent. While his experience and personal knowledge of many of the climbs and ascents gives him a groundwork for the interviews, the relaxed format, rapport with the guests, and probing questions takes the podcast to a higher level. The interviewees are a blend of iconic and new climbers which makes the whole series an evolving body of work that covers much of the breadth of the climbing scene from straight up rock climbing to current alpinism. Great work.
