35: You Asked, We Rambled

from The Ground Up Podcast Hosted by The Ground Up

We're switching things up a bit this week with our first ever listener questions driven episode! Instead of our usual format interviewing guests, it’s just us this time—riffing on climbing films, hot topics, and however many listener submitted questions we can get through. We start by getting into some recent films we’ve been watching (and working on), swap thoughts on storytelling in climbing media, and dive into a pretty deep debate on grading—what it means, where it falls short, and what a “perfect” system might actually look like. We also tackle a few listener-submitted questions, ranging from thoughtful to slightly ridiculous, and let the conversation wander into everything from ethics to personal preferences on the rock. This is a more off-the-cuff, unfiltered side of the podcast—and a bit of an experiment. Let us know what you think and if you like it, we’ll keep them coming more often. - Check out all the films we mentioned: Dias de la Gloria Queen Swing IAN Learn more about the SAR on the Naked Edge - Get access to exclusive and ad-free content by becoming a Patreon Follow along on Instagram: @listentogroundup Check out our new website: https://www.thegrounduppodcast.com/ Sign up for the Mailing List!
