https://open.spotify.com/episode/6eBeOk2jCaSLAysoDJWefz?si=EQy3Op3pRRSwM2-aMQn\_mg Ok kicking off with a hot topic in this video - staying lighting vs getting strong? It's an age old discussion topic amongst climbers in almost all disciplines and one that needs thought and transparency of discussion.

Q4: How do you manage your food whilst climbing? https://youtu.be/yvYx8HeTgUk
