About this listen

 When climbing was a fringe sport, the epic tales of achievement were told around the campfire. As the sport continues to grow, Alex Honnold and co-host Fitz Cahall grab the mic to share stories from the people who define climbing by pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo of the previous generation.Duct Tape Then Beer 2026

    Connor Herson: Just Getting Started
    Apr 17 2026
    Connor Herson couldn’t legally drive when he freed the Nose in 2018, competently navigating up his way up a route only Lynn Hill and Tommy Caldwell had freed. The climbing world wondered where this prodigy would take traditional climbing. In the years that followed, Connor was busy with regular teenage life – finishing up high school and heading for college. In 2025, the climbing world stopped wondering and watched as the 22-year-old put together the single greatest year of trad climbing.

..But there's little to no distinction between the intro, content and ads, so its very monotonous at times. And the episodes didnt flow correctly for me so a few times I found i was listening to a previous episode without realising - there was no obvious separation.

Great content
