A super conversation with Zofia Reych, author of a forthcoming book, Born to Climb. We talk about her book, about her adopted home of Fontainebleau, her Women's Bouldering Festival, the pandemic, autism and being gender queer. It's laugh-a-minute stuff!

French climber, Alain Robert, has been one of the world’s most outrageous soloist for over 30 years with topeless ascents of 8b. He has taken his skills and nerve to skyscraping heights by soloing many of the world’s tallest buildings.

Alright cowgirls and cowboys, here’s a show.
He's an 80s trad boiler and Catwalk walking sports cat. He's into telling you about his E7 when he's in the pub. He's got it in for Peakies. He's a right laugh. He's Mick Johnston. Such a laugh this one.

This is Antoine on La Rose des Sables. He did the FA. He also soloed Revelations when it was the hardest route in Britain. Go and look next time you're there. He also stars in the second-best climbing film ever, La Rose et le Vampir, with Anna Storr.

A supercool episode here. Ed February tells us all about growing up in Apartheid-era South Africa, the issues he faced because of the colour of his skin, discovering climbing and then eventually breaking through to a world of possibility.

I’ve pushed one out on this dreary Sunday.
Bernadette McDonald reads again from her book, Winter 8000. I am totally gripped by thirst stories.

Jaaaammmm Kwakkkkk!!! Artist and climber, Ed Drummond, is captured in this mesmerising audio piece by @HotAches following Drummond's meteoric ascent of St John's Head in Orkney, via the Long Hope Route niallgrimes.com/jam-crack-cl…
First thing I ever do on any new campsite is go in the middle of the field and pick up an enormous fuck-off weight and face down the other campers. No one ever fucks with me after that #protips
I’m compiling a list of climbers who have let me down through their performances. I’ll publish in good time and write to each of them personally. I will also be in touch with their relevant heads-of-state to see if we can agree on sanctions. How could they do this to me
Hubba hubba Crackheads! Apologies, for here is Episode 100. Just me rambling on about myself, seacliffs, Welshmen, my dear friend Andy Scott, and playing nice music for two hours. I suggest you don’t listen to it.
