Podcast Description
Welcome. We're Chris Kalous and Jamie Lynn. At Off Belay, we're untying the knot, cracking a cold (or at least room-temperature one) and pontificating about all things climbing. From big walls to aid solos, before wag bags and after outhouses, cragging, hang-dogging and projecting, climbing with significant others to climbing more significantly with friends; dogs, kids, beta-spray and bad belays...there's a lot to talk about. And a lot of people to talk to. Tune in for smack-talking, deep thoughts and all you love about gathering with friends around crackling embers, at the end of a well-spent day on the rock. Pull up a chair, grab a marshmallow and warm your climbing hearts around our electronic campfire. Welcome to Off Belay. BYOB.
