VERTICAL PODCAST

Welcome to the VERTICAL PODCAST
EDELRID decided to start this podcast to share the pleasure and freedom of moving vertically. Here you will discover how climbing has shaped people’s lives and what they envision for the future of the sport and the places where it unfolds. Our hosts Gio and Lena - two environmental activists - are ready to dive deep with each guest, uncovering their stories, dreams and the impact they hope to make.
With thoughtful questions Gio and Lena will take you on a journey beyond the climb, revealing what truly drives those who reach for their limits.
