Trad climbing

Back in August last year, I chatted to Mina Leslie Wujastyk from the Curious Climber Podcast. I felt quite nervous doing a podcast but Mina is a close friend so the chat came easier than I expected. We cover many things during this podcast including bold gritstone trad to competition climbing. Mainly I reflect on what I have learnt over the years about ego, identity, motivation and my relationship with "hard climbing"

Jo had some how persuaded me doing a route at the top of the Midi was a good idea. So we set our alarms and got on the first lift up, I was absolutely bricking it and neither of us said much in the cable car up so I assume Jo was too!
