Aidan Roberts and Sam Prior host this climbing-themed podcast that kind of goes where it goes. Lots of tangents and rambles as well as hopefully thought provoking questions. Sometimes it's very focussed on climbing, sometimes climbing barely comes up. The guests tend to be elite level climbers, but we often willingly get lost in the weeds and end up wildly off-topic.

  • Two great hosts

    The great thing about this podcast is that both the hosts are great. Aidan is great at climbing and Sam is great at podcasting. Together they make a truly enjoyable listening experience. If I’m having a tough day, their friendly banter and careless chatting is just the thing to brighten my mood. Cheers, boys.

    I’ve been meaning to write a review for this show for ages. I enjoyed the latest episode with Katy just too much to not write a review. The climbing auction was such a fun idea, keep thinking outside the box on these bonus segments. This show is the only climbing pod I listen to these days, it’s nothing but good banter, no ego, and interesting convos.

    Fascinating Jenya’s episode is no longer here (it is still on other sites). Who are you protecting or appeal to here? Is it high grades and fame alone that garner your approval? Why not let her words stand on their own? A very dark look to protect predatory men this way.
