About this episode
Steve McClure
The mild-mannered janitor of British Climbing is really a full-blown Jedi. Steve has been at the very top of world climbing since his first ascent of 'Mutation' back in 1998, which may have been the hardest climb in the world at the time. Since then, this climbing CV is a catalogue of mind-boggling hard grades, both on sport and hard (dangerous) trad routes.
In this episode, Steve explains how he uses his engineers brain to help squeeze the most from his own climbing as well as why climbing is possibly the most inclusive sport in the world.
