Customer Reviews
The American Alpine Club podcast
I like it!
Please provide more content
A great Podcast. I love it. Only one small complaint: I cannot download any of the other Podcasts (besides the 1st one) I get an error message. I've tried downloading on my iPhone and MacBook.
Amazing Podcast Series!
This podcast collection is truly an amazing and inspiring piece of work. Hearing about the lives of climbers from past and current eras is really an educational treat that benefits the knowledge and motivation of the entire climbing community. There are so many more possibilities (Beckey, Chouinard, Twight, House, etc). PLEASE create more of these great interviews!
