  • 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.

Hazel Findlay: Her Hardest Climb Since Becoming a Mom (and How She Pushed Herself Close to the Edge but Didn't Go Too Far)
Q: How did you handle goal setting and the risk of the project consuming you?

Hazel Findlay: Her Hardest Climb Since Becoming a Mom (and How She Pushed Herself Close to the Edge but Didn't Go Too Far)
Q: What was the name of the route and what drew you to it at this time?
The route is Imrahid, a Welsh-named project that translates to 'still here.' It represented a new chapter in her life as a mother and a chance to push herself under the combined pressures of parenting, sleep disruption, and training.
