Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

JCPC187 Siebe Vanhee - Pembroke rampage
Q: Could you tell us more about your trip to Pembroke?
I chose to go to Pembroke for its amazing sea cliffs, excellent limestone, and the chance to do a lot of classic climbs.
JCPC 183 Oliver Tippett - Hard Aid on El Cap
Q: What do you think is the center of this activity globally?
El Capitan is definitely the center; it's so big and has many routes with a lot of information available about them.
JCPC 183 Oliver Tippett - Hard Aid on El Cap
Q: Can you sum up aid climbing for people who might not know about this type of climbing?
Aid climbing is like cheating; you're placing gear and instead of actually climbing, you're clipping a ladder to the gear and climbing up the ladder.
JCPC 180 Andy Popp
Q: Can you talk us through your desires and your ability in climbing?
Andy reflects on his ability to climb close to his limit on dangerous climbs and his comfort level with risk, although he emphasizes that it was never about thrill-seeking but about a deep connection to climbing.
JCPC 179 Carolyn Young
Q: So a cancer diagnosis, did a cancer diagnosis come to you out of the blue?
