  • Way too much over hype, advertising and click bait

    The podcast has some good content but really find this overshadowed by the excessive advertising, over hype of products, protocols and guests, and its click bait titles. For me the way the show is delivered focusses far too much on the new shining thing rather than the fundamentals of what it is to struggle, improve and enjoy a lifetime of climbing, and personally find this contributes to the podcast portraying some of the toxic elements of climbing media.
