Summary
If you thought free-solo climbing was wild, Alex Honnold has gone and raised the bar again — climbing 101 skyscrapers on a live feed, with no safety ropes, in just 1.5 hours . Totally insane… or absolute genius? Suzie couldn’t watch it. Not a chance. Mark, meanwhile, is weirdly calm about the whole thing. We chat through what we actually think of Honnold’s latest feat, why some people are wired for fear and others clearly aren’t, and whether this kind of challenge should even be attempted. As always, the conversation spirals into our own climbing shenanigans, questionable past decisions, and a story involving bottom hair that probably should’ve stayed buried. And finally — what exactly is Mark planning to do that’s officially “bonkers” when he turns 60? Because if Alex Honnold is the benchmark, expectations are now worryingly high. High places, bad ideas, and classic chaos 🎙️ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/not-another-couples-podcast--6337216/support .
