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":"Ted Kingsnorth on the Influence of Jerry Moffatt and Chasing History","slug":"ted-kingsnorth-on-the-influence-of-jerry-moffatt-and-chasing-history","published_at":"2025-06-30T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/written-in-stone-climbing-history-6643506/ted-kingsnorth-on-the-influence-of-jerry-moffatt-and-chasing-history","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/written-in-stone-climbing-history-6643506","url":"https://written-in-stone.podbean.com/e/ted-kingsnorth-on-the-influence-of-jerry-moffatt-and-chasing-history/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/nz64angii5brw4ag/Ted-Kingsnorth-Convo.mp3","summary":"Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s! A big part of my research for any UK climber ends up being first, climbing-history.org run by Remus Knowles, but then immediately after I start reading endless threads on UKclimbing.com. While there, I often bump into an authoritative voice who obviously absolutely LOVES climbing history. Ted Kingsnorth. I first came across Ted’s name when he made an extended effort to climb Just Do It at Smith Rock - a route whose history we detailed last season and I’m sure Ted’s descriptions of the route influenced the episode. Ted made multiple trips to Smith from the UK over 3 years before succeeding, and it’s that determination and belief that made me take notice. I could have reached out to a lot of people to talk about the influence of Jerry Moffatt, but as you’ll hear in this conversation, Ted was absolutely the right person.
