Enormocast 324: Ines Papert – Only One Life
On Episode 324 for the Enormocast, I sit down for the second time with German climber Ines Papert. The first time was way back in 2016 when Ines and I climbed together in Indian Creek and found time to record an interview. At that time, Ines was the single mom of a teenager but still … Continue reading "Enormocast 324: Ines Papert – Only One Life"

Enormocast 323: Cole Brauer – Every Day the Sea
Cole Brauer joins the Enormocast after becoming the first American woman to race solo around the world in the Global Solo Challenge in 2023. The 30,000‑mile circumnavigation pushed her through storms, gear failures, sleep deprivation, and the kind of isolation only found in climbing in places like Baffin Island. During the race, Cole became its … Continue reading "Enormocast 323: Cole Brauer – Every Day the Sea"

Enormocast 322: Beau Martino – The Content Climbing Creator
On Episode 322 of the Enormocast, we sit down with early climbing content creator, Beau Martino. Beau caught the Tiktok wave out of the 2020 pandemic by creating mostly one-person skits spoofing climbing and dirtbag life. By 2021, he’d started to build a “career” out of it as he set up his tripod in a … Continue reading "Enormocast 322: Beau Martino – The Content Climbing Creator"

Enormocast 321: Katie McKinstry Stylos – Reaching Further
On Episode 321 of the Enormocast, I sit down at the Michigan Ice Fest with dry tooling maven, Katie McKinstry Stylos. Katie spent her entire youth as a “horse girl”: training horses, caring for horses, and competing.

On the latest Episode of Enormocast we bring you the long awaited 2026 installment of Last Rites FKA Taps: the annual show where we air our grievances, talk shit about our fellow climbers, and have a good time doing it.

Enormocast 319: Freja Shannon – Moments of Glad Grace
On episode 319 of the Enormocast, I connect across the Atlantic with Irish/Swedish climber and guide, Freja Shannon. Freja split her youth between the west coast of Ireland and Sweden. Her first mountain sport was snowboarding which took her to Chamonix for a winter season when she was 19. But in that spring, she found … Continue reading "Enormocast 319: Freja Shannon – Moments of Glad Grace"

Enormocast 318: Babsi Zangerl – 10 Years Later
On the latest Enormocast, Austrian rock master Babsi Zangerl returns to the show after I discovered her 10 years ago. Just kidding, but to say that her fame has rocketed since her first Enormocast over ten years ago is an understatement. Since we last talked, Babsi took her bouldering base and parlayed that into becoming … Continue reading "Enormocast 318: Babsi Zangerl – 10 Years Later"
