Excellent mountaineering podcast

There’s not enough podcasts like this one, and it fills a much needed gap. We’ve listened to all the previous season episodes and were really excited to see it return this season— just in time to learn for our upcoming mountaineering adventure. Great training and topics with clear and practical advice in easy to consume sessions. Love this podcast and thank you Rowan for taking the time to do this and sharing your advice and experiences!

Straight to the punch.

So much time and energy can be wasted while training for a big climb. This podcast can really help direct your physical/mental preparations for your big climb and for your longevity as a mountaineer. Strongly recommend!

Very Useful Information

Training for Denali and this is chock full of great information. Thanks for putting this together. Exactly what I was looking for.

Helpful

I don’t want to do weight training as part of prep. This is helping me see the value. Looking forward to more.

Concise, direct, practical

Would recommend.

Looking forward to it

This podcast seems direct and to the point in good Australian style. I am highly looking forward to it, having just finished a somewhat aimless, parallel triathlon and mountaineering training program with a summit completion and half Ironman completion within a month.

So good!

Very to the point and no fluff. Incredibly helpful if you aren’t able to afford a coach. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

Thanks!

Climbing mountains has been a dream of mine for YEARS! I don’t know where to start. I’m 30... I feel too old to get started... but I’m finally making that leap. This podcast is great for beginners and I appreciate that the host doesn’t just assume everyone is a mountaineering expert!

Thumbs up

Amateur mountaineer with big aspirations here. I unfortunately don’t live near mountains which makes training difficult. Been waiting for a podcast like this. 👊🏼 - Brian, Indiana USA
