    Episode #15 | Andrew Bisharat | Storytelling, outrage culture, privilege in climbing, etc.

    Given the global conversation around amplifying diverse voices in climbing, we thought this would be an interesting chat. The idea was for two writers from very different climbing cultures - India and the United States - to exchange views on storytelling in climbing. In this episode Dhillan chats with the remarkable Andrew Bisharat, one of the most renowned rock climbing writers in the world about: What makes a good climbing story? Has social media caused a decline in the quality of storytelling? Why rock climbing doesn't have the body of literature that alpinism does? Has outrage culture made journalism difficult? Dealing with the backlash around his recent Rock & Ice article about renaming offensive routes In India, is climbing linked to privilege? How to tackle the lack of diversity in climbing media?

    BoxTalks | Episode #12 | Madeleine Crane - If you were a child

    In India, it's no secret that authority is still used as a tool in sports coaching, often at the expense of empathy and support.

    BoxTalks | Episode #10 | Gujju Razak - No regrets, still playing

    Can climbing truly heal? In this episode with Gaurav 'Gujju' Jagadish, that is the central question. Gujju opens up about a deeply traumatic life event - his wife Kala's suicide - and how climbing helped him cope.    As a climber, Gujju brings a LOT to the table - he's an incredibly passionate boulderer; an example of someone around whom communities build themselves. He's been responsible for kickstarting bouldering activity in newer areas around Bangalore. He's also the founder of Bangalore's newest bouldering gym, Let's Play Climbing. Very importantly, he sees beauty in climbing in a deeper, redemptive way that has repeatedly been informed by his life's trajectory.    Topics in this episode:  His introduction to climbing  Feeling isolated by the climbing community   Meeting Kala, his wife  The stigma against relationships  Kala's suicide   How climbing and the community helped him cope  The impact of the event on Krishna, his son  The story behind Let's Play Climbing, his bouldering gym   What makes him a community figure?  Our deepest thanks to Gaurav for trusting us with such delicate and personal subject matter. We hope you find value in the episode.   Tell us what you think.

    In this episode of BoxTalks, Dhillan chats with the incredible Conrad Anker. Conrad's career has been immensely successful, yet punctuated by lots of personal tragedy - the loss of friends, mentors and climbing partners. His life trajectory has been repeatedly altered, especially by the loss of his best friend, Alex Lowe, in 1999. All of this is well known.  Here, he opens up about a variety of personal and social subjects:   The history of exploration and expeditions  Privilege in the modern climbing world  His process of dealing with loss Mentor-ship initiatives  His earliest visit to India Is there less 'shame' around grief today?  How he started climbing   It's less a chat about climbing exploits and more an insight into his perspectives about subject matter relevant to everyone. Informed, of course, by one of the greatest careers in climbing.   #BoulderBox #ExploreTheVertical #ConradAnker #talk #conversation
