Ollie is back, he's done a lot of work coaching Aidan in the past and he's one of the most knowledgeable coaches we've ever spoken to. He asked to be pre-warned of some of the things we were going to ask him about, presumably so he could brush up and spend some time revising, then we hit him with a bunch of stuff we hadn't mentioned. Got him. We ramble about peptides, about Abrahangs, about Lattice's occasionally controversial social media, all sorts really.

If you only tune in every week to enjoy listening to our opening jingle then I must apologise as I am away at the moment and don't have a copy of it with me. I could download an old episode and rip it from there but I'm hungry and I want to go and make dinner. Once again, soz.

This week we get a little bit of inside scoop from Aidan about Adam's experience on Exodia. Then we aim to tackle the question that is on every climber's lips for nearly waking second of every day, 'for the love of all that is holy, who is the most influential male boulderer born on or before January 1st 1990!'. I had a few reasons for applying those criteria and I mention them at least briefly in the episode.

*Trigger Warning* your favourite climber may get voted off in the first round and our methodology is meandering and occasionally illogical, so again, soz.

At the end I give the more learned amongst us (our Patroons) an opportunity to put us right and read out the results of their polling.

If you go out and send a bunch of 9A boulders, we will probably ask you to come on our podcast where we will ask you about anything other than the 9A boulders you sent. There's an inherent contradiction here, I don't really know why we do it, but yet we do it so regularly. Today is no different, our elite athlete of the day is Noah Wheeler, the world class level boulders he has climbed are numerous, but we ended up talking about social confidence, ego, playing tennis and insisting on board styling finesse boulders. I felt like I got to know Noah a bit better during this chat so I hope you will too, and that, if nothing else, is what you can hope for with our lines of questioning!

If you're enjoying our podcast, even if you don't know why, then please consider becoming a patroon, it's what keeps me editing and it keeps Aidan semi-reluctantly answering my phone calls. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70353823
