Listen to Podcast with Gripped Editor and Top Climbers

With guests like Alex Honnold, Sharon Wood, David Lama and Cedar Wright

As many people will continue to stay at home during the coronavirus outbreak (be sure to get outside for fresh air and exercise), some climbers might be looking for something to listen to.

Basecamp podcast was a production of the Banff Centre and was hosted by Gripped editor Brandon Pullan back in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The podcast explored mountain cultures and communities with guests such as Sharon Wood, Alex Honnold, Tommy Caldwell, Cedar Wright, David Lama, Lydia Bradey, Ed Douglas and more.

There were over 50 episodes recorded, however, some were considered too timely and not uploaded to Apple, like the one with Wasfia Nazreen and Pat Morrow about the seven summits. Nazreen is currently battling coronavirus. Follow Nazreen on Facebook here as she updates the world during her battle with the virus.
