Ropegun Girlfriend
Ropegun Girlfriend is a podcast for the hidden gems and stories that may not be the first things we think of when we think of the epic adventures that surround the sport. These are stories of how folks got into climbing, where climbing fits into their lives, how climbing informs the way they live, and how the way they live informs how they climb. This podcast dives deep into topics of identity, diversity, and explores who we are as climbers when we’re on and off the wall. Music by Coma-Media from Pixabay.
