Ep 9 - Henry Morrow - Obsessions Over Water and Stone
from Icebox Sessions Podcast - in conversation with Nova Scotia climbers · host Sean Cassidy
Meet the "infectiously stoked” Henry Morrow - a climber equally comfortable on plastic holds in the gym or climbing without a rope over the ocean in the middle of the night. Henry describes what it was like learning to climb outdoors by trial and error and the recent growth of Nova Scotia’s climbing community over the last few years. We talk about his DWS (deep water soloing) explorations, development of a new climbing crag, international travel and various homegrown epics - mostly in Cape Breton.Icebox Sessions - Episode Notes Icebox Sessions - All LinksChapters 00:00 Intro02:37 Why Are You So Stoked?06:02 Stepping Outside09:08 Deep Water Soloing12:46 Blue Island Ocean Epic16:44 Night Sessions18:58 Climbing and Addiction22:14 Training 25:11 Cape Clear Epic #128:41 Is Parkouring the New Alpinism?31:47 Hola Argentina34:26 The Beauty of Trad Cimbing42:15 Favourite Lines46:18 New Crags51:27 Climbing Events54:10 Cape Clear Epic #259:10 Shared Experiences1:02:08 DWS Health Benefits
