Episode 085: Paul Pritchard, Disabled Not Unable


Listen Later

Episode 085 of The Adventure Podcast features the legendary British rock climber and mountaineer, Paul Pritchard. Paul dominated the climbing scene of Britain and beyond in the 80s and 90s, until Friday the 13th of February 1998 when everything changed. A fallen boulder on The Totem Pole in Tasmania left Paul facing the prospect of never walking or speaking again. This conversation between Matt and Paul is a powerful one, retracing Paul’s life from a wayward youth trying to find his path in life to the thriving ‘rock and roll’ climbing scene of North Wales where he found solace, to the day when everything changed. It’s a story of mortality, resilience and optimism.


Listen for inspirational, heavy-hitting but hopeful stories of disability and climbing.
