E75: James Pearson - There and back again, the online and physical dangers of trying to push Trad climbing
Manage episode 387882176 series 3442944
A fantastic story, and one the climbing community would do well to learn from. James Pearson joins us this week to tell us about how he tried to push trad climbing, and how severe a community kickback can be even over something as trivial as slightly inflated grading. We hear about what James learnt from the experience, and how he improved himself as a climber to be ready to be in more or less the exact same situation many years later...
Glossary
Headpoint - The art of practicing a climb on a top rope before attempting a conventional lead or solo.
Equilibrium - An E10 (and I believe the first E10) in the peak district first ascented by Neil Bentley in 2000
