When climbing was a fringe sport, the epic tales of achievement were told around the campfire. As the sport continues to grow, Alex Honnold and co-host Fitz Cahall grab the mic to share stories from the people who define climbing by pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo of the previous generation.

I would consider myself a very casual climber and I absolutely love this podcast! Great stories and interviews that will be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Fitz and Alex are really, really good hosts and production quality is outstanding. Highly recommend!!!
Love the podcast type featuring historic, groundbreaking routes and the thoughts on those who climbed them. Thanks guys!
I love this podcast but was particularly motivated by the Access Fund episode. Concrete recommendations on how to support and protect our lands; so useful. Vote, join the access fund, stay connected and do something!
I tune in to every podcast and always leave feeling inspired and motivated by the discussion and stories of passionate people with the drive and determination to achieve their goals, not for fame or fortune but simply for the love of the quest. Alex and Fritz do a great job bringing those stories out for us to enjoy.
As a non climber it’s interesting to hear how each climbing group have a different perspective.
I liked the episode where they talked to the climbers in the South how they don’t like to over clean the routes.
As someone that loves the great outdoors I appreciate not seeing boulders or rock faces being vandalised with drilling and bolts.
Long may nature remain looking beautiful and long may people enjoy their adventures.
