I love listening to this as a young female climber who looks up to both of you. I particularly liked the episodes about comparing your self and mental heath in climbing because those are things I relate to. Also Kyra, you started at the gym I go to, Saint Paul VE and the coaches are incredible now. They work hard to make climbing enjoyable and recognized that the climbing team there used to not be great. Anyone wondering if you should listen to this podcast you absolutely should!

Both Kyra and Allison share their stories and feelings about climbing and the other aspects of their lives with a trust and honesty that feels like a breath of fresh air.

As a dad of a 12 year old competitive climber and a long time climber myself, I look forward to every new podcast. Please keep them coming!

I’m at episode 9, and I’m loving the podcast so far. I find the little tidbits about the life of pro climbers, including training, comp life, body/mental issues very interesting. I also really like the down-to-earth, sometimes rambly style of the podcast. Kyra and Alyson have great rapport, and the episodes sound like just two friends chatting and seeing where the conversation goes.

Fantastic podcast!! Great for athletes of any sport, and great for those of us who love climbing.

I’m loving this podcast, which makes me want to be a better human and to learn to climb. My granddaughter says, “they sound so kind! And they are so strong!” I agree. These two are great role models for young women. Keep up the great work!

Insightful, delightful, and fascinating discussion. I’m looking forward to learning more from future episodes. Thank you!

Love the honesty. Entertaining and informative for a parent with a competitive climber. Kyra and Allison seem so natural in this form of media.
