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.

Lou and Jaime Z intrude the digital airwaves about indie, punk, hardcore, metal, rock, hell, music in general. A couple of albums are reviewed and a topic is discussed.

Jaime rang our hero Lou up for some comic books and asked if Patrick was his brother. Lou awkwardly answered "Yes" and ran out of the store in fright. A few weeks ...

It was a pleasure to have Xian on the pod. We used to climb together when I lived in London years ago, she's a great climber and an all-round good egg. She's a climbing coach and she has her own unique way of looking at climbing where she focusses almost completely on technique and how to climb and doesn't focus on the much covered (and much loved)…

We recorded this one in two parts and ultimately lost half the episode due to technical monkeyshines. I have never struggled so hard to get something out only to give up on it.
