E165: 'Barefoot' Charles Albert - Footprints down the paths least travelled

from The Careless Talk Climbing Podcast · host Sam Prior & Aidan Roberts

Charles definitely provides a different flavour for this week's episode. A man who truly goes his own way, he climbs without shoes, mostly without any gear and usually without crash pads. He climbs, he downclimbs, he jumps and sometimes lives a cave. On top of all these brilliant eccentricities he's also one of the strongest climbers in the world. Naturally we had a lot of questions for him and we really loved his completely novel take on the sport.
