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.

[@simonrobbins815]

Seasons 1 & 2 were great podcasts. So stoked for Season 3 on KZbin!

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.

[@cwehden]

keep these videos coming, huge fan of Alex

[@craigbritton1089]

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.

@@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.

Alex Honnald Mt Thor face free solo when? Come on

[@jansnauwaert1785]

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

[@RockClimberAlex]

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?

[@RockClimberAlex]

@@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!
