Thanks for republishing this interview with Hazel. Both the questions and responses were enlightening. I've copied it so I can reread but also share with my two sons, who are in their thirties (and don't climb). The content was so valuable about life.
I'm in my sixties and have just returned to climbing seven years ago. I am an average climber who shares a line with some really good climbers and I have to fight my frustration that I am not as good. When I can divert that frustration I am immensely happy and contented, and realise that I have some awesome friends..
Looking for ward to your new book as rope soloing brings another intense dimension to the craft of climbing.
All the best Andy and keep your podcasts coming as they make me smile.
