The Careless Talk Climbing Podcast

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.

    E124: Where is Aidan? Is climbing a sport? Can we liberate ourselves from our ego?

    Hello! It's just the home team again this week discussing Aidan's whereabouts, a quick catchup with what we've both been up to, and then after about 30 mins we get into some beer garden philosophy. Is climbing a sport? Is it more creative or physical? How much of an ego do we have? Can we get rid of it?The sort of stuff we wanted to talk about when we started a podcast in the first place so a bit of a return to form!If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support us: https://www.patre...

    E123: Solly Kemball-Dorey - The evolutionary missing link in British climbing?

    We've scoured the country from top to bottom, searched underneath limestone caves, poured over bones with our fossil brushes, checked under the limestone caves a couple more times and then eventually checked the coastline of the south west and I think we've finally found it. The missing link British rock climbing needed!Solly is back to chat about his big sends and his mischievous shenanigans as well as listen as we debate the merits of a rock type he doesn't like. If you're enjoying the...

    E122: A chat amongst the shipmates, Aidan, Soline and Seb

    Ahoy there landlubbers! A little chat and a catch up from our intrepid sailors this week from a marina in Panama. This adventure is turning into a Where's Wally (inexplicably Waldo for Americans) picture book. We do hope we'll be able to resume our normal service sooner or later, but until then, thanks for tuning in!

    E121: Xian Goh - How to get better without training!

    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) strength side of the sport. Her book 'Smooth' has recently come out and I try to clumsily go over some of the key concepts from it. Thanks fo...

    E120: Aidan the cabin boy lands on Martinique, destined for... The Dawn Wall?

    We managed to squeeze in an episode with Aidan after his Atlantic voyage but before his mega central American traversal. Just a big catch up really as we haven't spoken in a few weeks.

    E119: Nathan Hoette - The mad Australian shoe scientist educates us ignorant fools about climbing shoes

    Aidan is back this week (it was recorded before he left) and we're joined by Nathan Hoette. Nathan works for Scarpa making climbing shoes. He knows everything there is to know about the process that goes in to making climbing shoes, and as it turns out, we didn't know all that much. So we mostly just sat and listened to him. I enjoy talking to people like Nathan, someone who has a real passion and are excited to talk all about it. If you're enjoying the podcast and would like to help us ...

    E118: Hoseok Lee - Moonboarding, The Korean climbing scene and rapid progression

    Joining me this week, and sadly this week it is just me, is the Moonboarding legend Hoseok Lee. Known very well on instagram for his antics and incredible feats of strength, he's also a really nice guy with an interesting story. Having started relatively late and improved incredibly quickly he has established himself as one of the top Moonboarders and one of the best known Korean climbers. Join us for a general chat about Hoseok's climbing and a bit of Moonboard geekery!If you're enjoyin...

    E117: Beth Rodden returns! - A light through the cracks and general natter

    Beth, one of our absolute favourite ever guests is back! Since we last spoke Beth finished her book, released her book, and we've both read her book. So we talk a lot about that, the process of writing it and what we took from it. There are a few tangents and just general chat thrown in as well. If you haven't yet picked up a copy of her book we'd both highly recommend it!If you're enjoying the podcast and would like to help us keep the lights on without advertising then please do consid...
