[ ABOUT / SHOW ]
When climbing was a fringe sport, the epic tales of achievement were told around the campfire. Now the sport is mainstream — but the campfire is still the point.
Free Soloist · Co-host
Alex Honnold is one of the most accomplished free soloists in climbing history. His 2017 free solo of Yosemite's El Capitan, captured in the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, redefined what was thought possible in the sport. On Climbing Gold, Alex sits down with the climbers he respects most — the ones pushing the next generation of routes, grades, and ethics.
Storyteller · Co-host
Fitz Cahall is a longtime climber, journalist, and the founder of Duct Tape Then Beer — the production company behind The Dirtbag Diaries and Climbing Gold. For two decades, Fitz has been making the audio that climbers actually listen to, with a writer's ear for the details that matter and a soft spot for the quiet stories the sport tends to overlook.
Climbing Gold: Unroped is the ad-free version of the show. Same hosts, same conversations, but without the breaks — and with the bonus material, extended interview cuts, and behind-the-line debriefs that don't fit the public feed.
