Great podcast on climbing

This is a great podcast featuring conversations with climbers - adventure, training, highs and lows. I have listened for maybe the past 6 months and really enjoy it. One thing I really appreciate is the time stamps on each episode description. The list of guests ranges from legends to relative unknowns but I’ve learnt a lot and I keep coming back.
