Great watch from the team @rab_equipment showing what can happen when climbers cross geographic and cultural boundaries to teach and share our passion! https://t.co/gk5LpDUFaE

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

A great opportunity for young people looking to take their first steps into winter climbing 👇

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

Marie Uri comes at climbing from such a totally different perspective to myself that this was by far one of the most interesting & thought-provoking conversations I’ve ever had about the sport.

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

In her work as a coach & climbing instructor, Rachael Crewesmith helps people overcome their fears every day.

We sat down for the #MountainPeople podcast to discuss the different ways she guides new climbers in overcoming their mental barriers➡️ https://t.co/On5fsWE1Oe

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

When it comes to the mental side of climbing, who better to speak to than the man who wrote the book on the subject?

I chat to climbing legend Jerry Moffatt about the mental training that made him one of the best climbers on the planet.

The new series of the #MountainPeople Podcast has landed.

In episode one I chat to Prof Lew Hardy (expert in elite performance) about good mountain decision-making & why some people have an easier time handling risk.

It will never not be rewarding to see the podcast connecting with people and opening up new ideas about our lives in the mountains.

@AlanHod53122851 Absolutely @AlanHod53122851 yes - I remember that training:-)

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

Growing up in Barnsley a career in Rugby was more likely than climbing. But I took the road less travelled. Relishing bringing both these worlds together giving keynote speech to @RugbyLeagueWorldCup 21 team tomorrow #KeynoteSpeaker #RugbyLeague #Rugby #EventSpeakers

@EventyHelen Thanks @EventyHelen:-) What a tremendous setting for such an exciting Tournament kicking-off soon! #RLWC21

Good day in the office so far with #RLWC21 listening to the inspirational @1AndyCave

25 years ago. The late Brendan Murphy finding the way, day 5, #Changabang, north face 1st ascent, Indian Himalaya.

No radios, no bolts, no fixed ropes, no sherpas.

Probably the closest you can get to space exploration ‘out there’ commitment as a climber.

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

Pete and Joe's ascent of Changabang was a huge inspiration to me and is part of what drew me to my own, pivotal experiences on that mountain.

To see their route repeated all these years later inspires a similar awe. Huge congrats to Kim, Matt & Daniel! https://t.co/RtchESA6lc

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

Really enjoyed this piece from @IWelsted which, in a few short paragraphs, conveys so much wisdom about setting achievable goals and what success looks like in the mountains.

Sometimes slow and steady can actually mean faster progression! https://t.co/c2P9VZpCsO

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

It’s been a busy few days recording interviews for the next @rab_equipment #MountainPeople podcast series.

Brilliant to be over in #Snowdonia chatting to legends.

More details coming soon!

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

Joe Simpson (@TouchingTheVoid) is pictured in this photo taken at basecamp.

Sadly this trip was too early for Joe and his injuries from 'Touching the Void' were causing him so much pain.

He gave it a damn good go though, as did most of the team.

35 years ago I set off on my very first Himalayan expedition.

In actual fact, for me, this was the first of 3 expeditions back-to-back, without returning home.

In for a penny, in for a pound!

[Andy Cave @1AndyCave]

On the first trip, myself and John Stevenson made the first ascent of Tupopdan on the Pakistan-China boarder, approaching from the Hunza valley.

Great memories!
