  • Best climbing podcast

    God-tier content from Chris and Andrew. Their little ingenious move of cutting the intros got me to become a rope gun (again). I simply couldn’t handle being deprived of a portion of the banter. But it was worth it because the bonus content is excellent. Just Chris and Andrew BSing about whatever. Best climbing pod out there (except for Grimer’s of course)

    Please stop cutting the intros. This is the top climbing media on the internet. I can’t be teased this way!

  • Casual conversation, by real climbers, with the best guests out there.

    The casual conversation at the beginning is what makes the show hilarious. Going hard with completely outrageous statements and trying to hold them half seriously proves that you're not taking yourselves too seriously and it's perfect to offset interviews with climbing megastars. Watch out to not fall for the "it was better before" trope too often. Keep it up, it's the best show on climbing out there.
