Waaaaay back on Episode # 4 we came up with a dating app for climbers called, 'Bouldr'. Well, someone has expanded our idea by one letter and released a new dating app called 'Boulder'.

We create a profile for Gas-Tonya and check out the app, while coming up with other dating apps so terrible, that maybe this time they won't get stolen.

Sprinkled in there somewhere we talk about climbing in Quebec, and why Ontario is so... unwelcoming.

Enjoy!

And we're back!

This one is for the fans. Only fans.

Well, well, well... It seems like a hundred new climbing podcasts have started up in the midst of the climbing quarantine crisis, and true to form, we thought we'd jump on the bandwagon the best way we know how; releasing an episode after months of silence.

Steve is on Zoom, so apologies for his sound quality from his bunker in the woods.

On this episode we discuss Covid-19 effects on climbing, including the demise of climbing gyms, the black market for hangboards, and the trend that you are all guilty of: building a woody.

We talk about a possible way of climbing during the pandemic using colored shirts and arm-bands.

Anna gives a gear review for the Misty Mountain Cadillac harness. We talk about Black Diamonds new offwidth cams, and much more.

For our very special Christmas episode, we discuss our recent climbing trips to the Red and the Creek.

Alisha couldn't make it for this one, but she's with us in spirit, and in Sound Board form.

We start off by talking about the closure of Roadside Crag in the Red River Gorge.

The podcast turns dark and somber with a discussion about accidents, death, and tragedy.... You know, the stuff we're good at making funny.

Anna ends the show with a little bit of holiday cheer.

And we're back! Now that climbing season is drawing to a close... We decided to release the next episode. You can stop asking now!

We start the show with some stories about Indian Creek, including snakes, Pamela Pack, and Aid-Climbing Supercrack!!

We try to come to a consensus about trad gear, and which gear the budding young trad climber should buy.. We fail.

Steve talks guiding, and almost convinces Matt of it's value.

Climbing myths, soundboard, and long drawn out tangents throughout - you know the drill.

This week we decided to show you some behind the scenes of why our podcasts are so long (you have no idea).

These are some of the B-Side clips that we end up cutting from the show because they don't 'fit' the main theme of the show.... rock climbing.

There's a lot of talk about seances, Mr. Rogers, and most of all.... Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa.

If you guys enjoy this mini-episode, let us know and we can come out with these periodically!

*We haven't forgotten about the Sublime brush giveaway, and we'll announce winners on the next main show!

If you haven't sent us your Mountain Project female friendly route name, send them in to [email protected] for your chance at a brush!

On this week’s episode Alex Handhold takes a break from talking about his epic solo to discuss his foundation, Peter Croft keeps asking us to throw the ball, and Steve discusses an encounter with Cosplayers while ice climbing.

We argue about whether or not beginner climbing shoes are useful when you first start climbing (Matt is alone in thinking absolutely not).

We close out talking about competition bouldering and dry-tooling; both of which are, spoiler alert: very silly.

*Please support Anna's 2024 Olympic fund for speed climbing.

WE STILL HAVE SUBLIME BRUSHES!

Anna gives details on how to enter for a chance to win a brush at the end of the show; send your answers in and we'll pick our favorites for the brush!

On this week’s episode we finally talk about the Dawn Wall - The Tommy Caldwell Story. How many times have we seen this movie before??

We talk about what it means to be a Dirt Bag in 2019, and if it's even possible. Spoiler: If you have a Sprinter van, you are not a Dirt Bag.

We do a follow up to our booty episode when Anna asks, is this booty?

This topic, of course, leads to a conversation about the popularity of Adam Ondra and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Finally, we end with a listener suggested game called, "Name that Climbing Scream" (it's harder than you think!)

We end the show making jokes about death, of course.

And we're back!

On this week’s episode the gang gets a sound board. Not much more to say, other than the fact that we've devolved into a local morning radio show with fart noises and Ondra screams.

Not surprising, the conversations are TOTALLY BETTER with sound FX, movie quotes, and constant interruptions.

Can you identify all of the sounds we used?

We start off with a voicemail from Peter (the listeners know Peter), we discuss at what temperature we stop rock climbing in, Peter Croft bachelorette parties, Free Solo, and much much more!

On this week’s episode we dive into a large number of important topics.

First of all, Steve tries to defend the idea of hiring a guide to learn new skills, brush up on old ones, and generally how not to die. We talk about the spread of climbing myths and in an age of instant global information, how climbers still learn bad ideas.

Matt and Anna discuss the International Climbers Fest in Lander, WY; their encounter with Peter Croft, and the @ScarpaNA photo contest controversy. We need your help to hold them accountable!

We keep the streak going with mention of Tom Randall, and finally tell Steve about the Joe Kinder thing, of which Steve is the last climber on Earth to hear about.

Anna ends the show off with a brand new climbing game --- one which we’re sure will be a long-time favorite amongst our listeners.

Finally, a preview of our new podcast based on the hit TV Show, The O.C.
