- Just about perfect
I’ve been listening to Climbing Gold for about a year or so. I don’t think it needs me to write a review, and I didn’t think I would, but after just listening to Jimmy Chin’s interview - well it was so, so great. I could listen to another couple of hours of Alex and Jimmy talking. What a life, and what a story.
