Darek Krol Memorial Clip
This is a short clip that I shared at Darek Krol’s memorial service. I felt that this clip captured some of Darek’s philosophy of life, his spirit, and his humor. I wanted to share it here in case you don’t have a chance to listen through the full 3-hour episode. We will miss you, Darek.
Customer Reviews
Amazing podcast
Love the hard work and research that gets put into each episode. I’ve learned a lot and been entertained every week. It’s become my favorite podcast!
My favorite climbing podcast by far!
Keep doing what you are doing. This podcast is gold!!
Crushing!
The passion and genuine curiosity Steven harnesses in his interviewing seeps through every episode with an energy that you can’t pull yourself away from. Whether you’re looking for a laugh, wisdom, or that nugget of training advice send your project, you’ll find that and so much more. Tuning in every week fills a community void that I think many have grieved mightily this year. Becoming a Patreon member for the follow-up conversations is totally worth it— I can’t recommend this podcast enough!!!
