The Careless Talk Climbing Podcast

Just us again this week, we chat about Aidan's time in Switzerland, life updates as well as answering a bunch of questions from our mighty community of Patroons that are keeping this whole ship afloat! If you enjoy our podcast and would be interested in supporting us, please do check out our patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Dan Turner joins the chat this week to add his perspective. Dan is an incredibly well accomplished British climber with a known penchant for big, impressive lines. What's more impressive is how much hard climbing he has managed to get done whilst holding down a full-time job, and now with two kids as well! He is also known for his perseverance and is not afraid of a siege! We cover all that and more...If you're enjoying our podcast and would like to support us: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Another guestless episode this week because the last one was pretty well received. We had a bunch of questions and talking points from our Patroons but in typical careless talk fashion we ran out of time, so there will be another episode very soon where we cover those. Lots of general rambles, life updates and tangents but there is a decent amount of climbing specific stuff in there this time... I promise!If you're enjoying our podcast and would like to hear me trying to explain what a Lip Sync battle is to Aidan, check out our Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Alex Waterhouse joins us this week. I promise I didn't know he had given up the comps when I booked him! Although since he has the chat ended up being at a very opportune moment. Alex is a very eloquent chap and has a mind that seems to be effervescing with endless ideas and opportunities so it was really fun to chat to him about all of it! If you like our podcast and want to help us keep it going: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

Part 2 of our chat with Dan Varian, very laid back and casual natter to help while away your commute or whatever you're doing whilst listening to us... hopefully not as a sleep aid. We could talk to Dan all day so we'll hopefully be able to persuade him to come back on and give us more pearls of wisdom at some point in the future. If you enjoy our podcast and would like to help us keep it going: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show

This week we have one of the most accomplished outdoor climbers in the UK, Dan Varian joining us for a relaxed, meandering chat about a whole host of topics. We had 6 main discussion points to chat about with Dan and over the course of a three and a half hour conversation, we vaguely covered two of them. There is another part of this chat to come next week. If you like the podcast and would like to support us, you can check out either of our two tiers at: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823Support the show
