Climbing Gold

Behind The Lens

For many of us, social media is the portal into the lives of outdoor photographers and filmmakers. We see the images and the films they create, but it can be a bit of a mystery for how it all works behind the lens. Today we talk to climbers Colette McInerney and Austin Siadak, both photographers and filmmakers who have worked on many different outdoor film projects, to get a glimpse of what it takes to create incredible outdoor stories. 

Films and photographers mentioned in this episode:
Pretty Strong by Never Not Collective
The Alpinist with Marc-Andre Leclerc
Mikey Schaefer
Meru by Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk

When climbing was a fringe sport, the epic tales of achievement were told around the campfire. As the sport continues to grow, Alex Honnold and co-host Fitz Cahall grab the mic to share stories from the people who define climbing by pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo of the previous generation.
