@@thestruggleclimbingshow Maybe there were rocks falling. But, then, comes the question, why solo if there's rocks falling? The man's a mystery, I tell you, a mystery! Lulz!
@@thestruggleclimbingshow I first climbed there in ' 73. Hopefully will get there again this season: am recovering from shoulder surgery and an Achilles injury ( a ground squirrel complex collapsed under me as I coiled a rope/ standing on flat ground is dangerous) I have been climbing since '66 so I have seen some changes over the decades.
@@thestruggleclimbingshow you were correct; I did really like the Peter Croft interview. And I agree that downclimbing is perhaps the most unused good training method. If one wants to get good on slab; downclimbing is the fastest way to get better. And just overall; downclimbing rather than lowering; doubled the amount of climbing one can do. Thanks.
I wasn't aware you could get a sponsor with just 600 subscribers. Good for them for supporting.
Awesome guests, great questions ... Man, I hope this channel blows up.
Seasons 1 & 2 were great podcasts. So stoked for Season 3 on TH-cam!
Sick interview! I like your questions and knowledge, you’ve earned my sub
Not being a climber myself, but living vicariously through Alex, there was a good bit of butt pucker at 6:33 Thanks for the video.
keep these videos coming, huge fan of Alex
0:06 quick question. What in the fuck is the role of the helmet when free soloing? Is it to shame gumbies that aren't using them when sport climbing?

Excellent. Hope you keep it to climbing and don't become another UTube stunts channel. So viewers who agree with me need to spread the word.
@@thestruggleclimbingshow I am definitely enjoying it. And learning Trad at Taquitz means you really know what is Trad.

No, I don't need to take more risks.
