The Dirtbag Diaries

About a week ago I dropped a big hint about a very cool podcast series called The Dirtbag Diaries. Those good guessers out there won’t be too surprised to hear that I have penned an episode of the popular series! It’s just gone ‘live’ and is available for free download at either the Dirtbag Diaries site or from iTunes.

It was a really interesting process helping to create this podcast. It all started with an idea I had for a story – a rather important part of my growth as a climber that not many of you know about. Actually I can with good confidence say that this is a story that none of you know – this was one that I held pretty close to my chest. The story starts nearly ten years ago and in many ways isn’t finished even today. It’s about climbing, relationships, the feeling of security and commitment. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I’d love for you to check it out.

As a bit of a bonus here is a photo to go along with the episode. The title of the story is The Great White Book named after a climbing route in Yosemite Valley of the same name - here is a photo of the climb. I can’t take credit for this shot – Mr. Ansel Adams took this one. The climb is the prominent corner crack on the lefthand dome.

Have a listen and have a think – as always I’d love to hear what you have to say about it.
Cheers,
Scott
