    Jon Glassberg is a photographer and filmmaker, and Emily Harrington is one of America’s most prolific professional climbers, whose all-around feats span summits of 8,000 meter peaks, 5.14, National Comp podiums, and free ascents of El Capitan. Their new film is Girl Climber, which is profile of Emily and her quest to free climb Golden Gate on El Capitan in a day. 

    But first, crack open a case of Send Lite and help us ponder whether we need way more terms for doing what we do with our rock-climbing ascents.

    Our final bit is “Big Wall,” an alt-rock ear worm from Nathan Murdoch, from the forthcoming EP “If You’re Not There.”

    Chris and Andrew catch up after a couple of soul-satisfying weekends away in the desert, reconnecting with what’s important in life and considering the prospect of what will never be.

    Next, our dear friend Caroline Treadway joins us to discuss her bold new film LIGHT, which tackles the subject of eating disorders in climbing through very honest and personal narratives, including her own.

    After a heavy episode, we end on a lighter note with another edition of Whose PASSAAT! Is This Anyway?

    Fresh off her historic first female ascent of Golden Gate in a day (GGIAD), Emily Harrington joins us, the unworthy podcast hosts, as we grovel in the dirt and prostrate ourselves before her majesty’s feet—still ensconced in Alex Honnold’s TC Pros. With GGIAD, Harrington has really arrived as one of the best female climbers of all time. It’s hard to think of another woman who has done as much across all disciplines, from big mountains to national competitions and ice fests, to hard sport. Though we aren’t worthy, we did enjoy this inspiring dive into one of the great bits of news in the climbing world this year.

    Speaking of news, one place you won’t be reading it is in the pages of Rock and Ice magazine, which has sold / merged with Climbing magazine. We reminisce about the golden era of climbing magazines, bemoan social media, and bemuse the sort of whimper with which the news was seemingly received about Rock and Ice’s folding.

    And for the final bit, introducing everyone’s new favorite game, Whose PSAAT! Is That Anyway?

    It’s arguably a good time to be a female climber. We’re living through a renaissance of female climbing. The still male-dominated outdoor industry is finally starting to wake up and listen to the needs of a group that has historically been underrepresented in our sport. Just as one example, there’s now more climbing gear for women than ever before, built from the ground up with the female climber in mind—not just the old “shrink it and pink it” approach.

    It’s hard not to notice female climbers are everywhere, too—in gyms, at the crags, hashtag #girlswhoclimb, of which I see 330,000 posts on Instagram. There’s women’s climbing festivals and clinics across the country, adventure film festivals like the No Man’s Land film fest, and media that is created by women, of women crushing.

    This is Andrew Bisharat, and I’m here with my co-host Chris Kalous. We’re here today with two good friends and slaydies extraordinaire, Emily Harrington and Tara Kerzhner, to rap about all things female-climbing related.

    Emily needs no introduction—she’s one of the most prolific female climbers of my generation, pioneering 5.14 first-female ascents in Rifle such as Zulu and the 7 PM Show, to free-climbing El Cap, to summitting Everest and getting into all kinds of other kooky big-mountain shenanigans.

    Tara is one of the most core climbers I know. She’s smart, surly, funny, and has been living an itinerant dirtbag life with her bone-crusher husband Greg Kerzhner for years. Tara is also a dedicated filmmaker and photographer—and man, I’ve been really impressed with how good her work has gotten over the years..

    You may know Tara for having shot, directed and edited a short film called Slaydies, in which Emily Harrington, Margo Hayes, and Paige Claassen take a climbing trip to Mallorca. It’s a fun film—the girls crush, support each other, braid each other’s hair … that kind of shit. And it got a great response for the most part, too. Tara is now cooking up Sladies 2, which she’s hoping to shoot this fall.

    Without further ado, please welcome slaydies Emily Harrington and Tara Kerzhner.
