  • Great climbing stories

    A climbing history 101. I love the focus by decade and by route with the bonus episodes that take deeper dives into specific stories. Also, Kris is the master of the guest intro. I love listening for how people respond to how Kris introduces them. Kris and the crew have clearly worked their butts off on this. Thanks y’all!

  • Love it

    Kris masterfully weaves together these stories. The Todd Skinner episode was clearly filled with love, it left me nostalgic to a time I didn’t live in.

  • A cool and important historic perspective

    Written in Stone is a unique podcast in the climbing space: instead of the best hangboarding routine it focuses on climbing history. Each episode is masterfully written and produced, and follow up conversations with climbers connected in some way to the story are priceless. Even a seasoned climber who knows everything there’s to know will surely find some detail or an entire story they were not aware of. Great listen, I am always eagerly awaiting the next episode!
