The Careless Talk Climbing Podcast

You have to look pretty far before you find someone as impressive or as inspiring as Jenya. She's recently climbed Dreamcatcher, she competed at the olympics and she has returned to the World Cup circuit after becoming a mum. All this whilst advocating for her home country of Ukraine which is still fighting a Russian invasion. It was great to get an opportunity to chat to Jenya amidst her busy schedule and we covered a lot of ground. If you're enjoying the podcast and would like to supp...

It's always nice to complete a set isn't it? We've had Ollie a couple of times but now we can unlock the Lattice achievement because we've had Tom on as well. Tom is probably the more well known of the Lattice duo for his rock (and cement) exploits. He loves to suffer, and put himself through some of the most miserable sounding experiences but also manages to keep a good sense of humour about it all. We spoke to him a little bit about a lot of the things he does, but he does so much that we c...

Ollie is back, he's done a lot of work coaching Aidan in the past and he's one of the most knowledgeable coaches we've ever spoken to.

Got him. We ramble about peptides, about Abrahangs, about Lattice's occasionally controversial social media, all sorts really. If you're enjoying the podca...

If you only tune in every week to enjoy listening to our opening jingle then I must apologise as I am away at the moment and don't have a copy of it with me. I could download an old episode and rip it from there but I'm hungry and I want to go and make dinner. Once again, soz. This week we get a little bit of inside scoop from Aidan about Adam's experience on Exodia. Then we aim to tackle the question that is on every climber's lips for nearly waking second of every day, 'for the love of all ...

If you go out and send a bunch of 9A boulders, we will probably ask you to come on our podcast where we will ask you about anything other than the 9A boulders you sent. There's an inherent contradiction here, I don't really know why we do it, but yet we do it so regularly. Today is no different, our elite athlete of the day is Noah Wheeler, the world class level boulders he has climbed are numerous, but we ended up talking about social confidence, ego, playing tennis and insisting on board st...
