I am thrilled to be on The Enormocast. For those that don't know, it's a podcast where Chris Kalous interviews some of the most interesting folks in the climbing world (one of my favorite episodes is with Peter Croft). I think Chris's talent, other than having a good podcast voice and sense of humor, is to get folks to open up and be very honest about their motivations.

The link below goes to an 1 hour+ podcast where I talk about getting into climbing, SuperTopo Forum, and more.

Listen Here: http://enormocast.com/episode-88-chris-mcnamara-living-the-ever-changing-dream/


Will be interested to see what this crew thinks about my forum comments. I've been preparing myself for it for a month actually.

40:00!!! It's a great interview, and worthy on it's own, but sheesh, what a wait.....


Chris you should have posted that up at the beginning for those with short attention spans that are ONLY interested in hearing about the ASYLUM!!

The whole thing is excellent, trust me.


But 44:00 is where the creatures start stirring in the closet.

47:00, both guys are speaking really intelligently about the ASYLUM!!


But you gotta start at 44:00 or slightly earlier to really be in the ballgame.

I see the words “enormo” and “super” and “the wide”
And I wonder bigly and muchly what “the Clyde”
And some others with cred might have tried.
But that’s the same as pissin’ into the wind, I sighed.

Let’s just hope for the best not the biggest.

Common sense is the key to integrity.

Integrity is the key to trust.

I approve of Cmac’s philosophy of gentle moderation.

Ivory towers are built to isolate one from another.

Thank God for the “ignore button” with which we are born.

This could be better for the forum than the annual keep it real post.

That is if people would just LISTEN to it.

The summaries and humor and punch lines from 53:00 Funny as hell at 55:00 onward are pure gold and totally worth the wait. Hope I'm not cutting you guys off at the knees with all my stupid time hacks.


Excellent work ENORMOCAST!!!!



BASE discussion starts at 56:00, starting out great.

Are you kidding me, there's only a few of us SuperTorture Asylum dwellers that have listened to this thing?

It's awesome! For friends/subjects of CMac, learning the ropes of El Cap, SuperTorture Forum, BASE, proximity flying, it's pure gold!!

Can this now be the official thread where people ask that their account be removed from Supertopo because we are ashamed and no longer want to be part of the forums/troll mongering???

Thanks.

Please remove my account.
