Hosted by Kris Hampton, you’ll hear the narrated, sound designed stories about what led to new levels in climbing, alternated with conversations with today’s top climbers about what inspired them about what went down way back then. Season One: The 1990’s Season Two: The 1980’s Season Three: The History of Modern Bouldering Like Todd Skinner always said, ”never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”","last_synced_at":"2026-07-10T04:21:35.105382+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/written-in-stone-climbing-history-6643506"},"episode":{"title":"Showdown(s) At Snowbird | Edlinger vs. Tribout and Destivelle vs. Hill","slug":"showdown-s-at-snowbird-edlinger-vs-tribout-and-destivelle-vs-hill","published_at":"2025-07-07T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/written-in-stone-climbing-history-6643506/showdown-s-at-snowbird-edlinger-vs-tribout-and-destivelle-vs-hill","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/written-in-stone-climbing-history-6643506","url":"https://written-in-stone.podbean.com/e/showdowns-at-snowbird-edlinger-vs-tribout-and-destivelle-vs-hill/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ssqt75imgq68kpqw/Showdowns-At-Snowbird.mp3","summary":"Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s! In 1985, 19 of the top French climbers signed a manifesto against competition climbing. But competitions came anyway. Quickly, most of those same signees defected - becoming the climbers to beat at every event. As happens in every competitive sport, rivalries were formed, and would play out in the vertical theater. In 1988, America would host its first International competition at Snowbird in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon. The 115 foot artificial wall would become a battlefield. Competition versus climbing. The organizers versus Didier Raboutou. Catherine Destivelle versus Lynn Hill. And for the crown, Jibe Tribout versus Patrick Edlinger. It was going to be a showdown. Several of them.
