Episode 197: Dave MacLeod, Moving The Needle

Episode 197 of The Adventure Podcast features Scottish climber, Dave Macleod. Dave is celebrated for being one of the finest climbing all rounders in the world, from trad and sport climbing to winter mountaineering. He’s best known for his bold and groundbreaking climbs, including Rhapsody at Dumbarton Rock, the first-ever E11 trad route. Dave isn’t just about physical feats, he’s also deeply interested in the mental side of climbing and loves sharing what he’s learned through his writing, films, and coaching. With his mix of humility, passion, and a knack for tackling the impossible, Dave is one of the leading experts when it comes to understanding how to climb at an elite level. Dave previously came on the podcast (episode 091), but Matt asked him back on after hearing about the release of his new book ‘Moving The Needle’ to give us some top level insights and to understand his own journey from very average, to one of the best climbers in the world.
