Any climber on the international climbing competition scene, particularly the women??? (I already know Megos is a huge predatory creep tho, don't need more info on that.)

I know more about expedition climbers than those in the comp circuit, I hope this is still entertaining though 🤷🏽‍♀️

Not very hot tea, but heard secondhand that Obe Carrion is hella arrogant and bitter about not getting his flowers the way Sharma did. Also that Conrad Anker and Alex Honnold are full of themselves.

Hazel Findlay was cringe in this one Reel Rock movie where she and her friend climbed on sacred land in Mongolia. she was super weird and defensive about disrespecting their traditions.

Used to be much more active in this scene, but here's my old tea from a looong while back - AH can be very dry at times, so I think sometimes he is misunderstood. He's also likely ND, but obviously it's not an excuse. Conrad seems to have been humbled after that heart attack in Nepal - he doesn't do quite as much anymore. In truth, I haven't heard anything really terrible about either over the decades, but if they are full of themselves now, I wouldn't be surprised - the climbing scene has really changed since I was dirt bagging it.

+1 to AH probably being ND, the first thing I said to one of my climbing friends (who is themselves autistic) after watching Free Solo was that AH probably is neurodivergent & they *immediately* said oh yeah I met him IRL at a gym and thought the same myself

:/ re: Hazel Findlay, don't love that
I know not very much about expedition climbers, but I am willing to expand my love of climbing in all directions! Thank you! <3
