RunOut #94: Inside Free Soloing with Jeff Smoot

What’s the best way to belay with a GriGri? How should you build an anchor? Is that CE-certified piece of webbing really strong enough for real-world climbing? The internet has an opinion on this and more! Walk with us through the muck of know-it-alls offering their two cents on everything. Next, one of our favorite writers Jeff Smooth returns to the show to plug his new book All and Nothing: Inside Free Soloing, and regale us with his own experiences in this darkest of dark arts. Last but never least, Madeleine Sorkin shares how her experience of sending the hardest route on the Diamond face of Long’s Peak inspired her in more ways than one. Show Notes All and Nothing: Inside Free Soloing, available from The Mountaineers or wherever you get books.
