It's always nice to complete a set isn't it? We've had Ollie a couple of times but now we can unlock the Lattice achievement because we've had Tom on as well. Tom is probably the more well known of the Lattice duo for his rock (and cement) exploits. He loves to suffer, and put himself through some of the most miserable sounding experiences but also manages to keep a good sense of humour about it all. We spoke to him a little bit about a lot of the things he does, but he does so much that we could have gone into greater detail in any of it. Some great moments though, Aidan wants to learn to be more selfish, Tom reckons Pete is at least a one in three human and apparently Ondra was nearly killed trying to climb under a bridge. All this and potentially more within!

Ollie is back, he's done a lot of work coaching Aidan in the past and he's one of the most knowledgeable coaches we've ever spoken to. He asked to be pre-warned of some of the things we were going to ask him about, presumably so he could brush up and spend some time revising, then we hit him with a bunch of stuff we hadn't mentioned. Got him. We ramble about peptides, about Abrahangs, about Lattice's occasionally controversial social media, all sorts really.

If you only tune in every week to enjoy listening to our opening jingle then I must apologise as I am away at the moment and don't have a copy of it with me. I could download an old episode and rip it from there but I'm hungry and I want to go and make dinner. Once again, soz.

This week we get a little bit of inside scoop from Aidan about Adam's experience on Exodia. Then we aim to tackle the question that is on every climber's lips for nearly waking second of every day, 'for the love of all that is holy, who is the most influential male boulderer born on or before January 1st 1990!'. I had a few reasons for applying those criteria and I mention them at least briefly in the episode.

*Trigger Warning* your favourite climber may get voted off in the first round and our methodology is meandering and occasionally illogical, so again, soz.

At the end I give the more learned amongst us (our Patroons) an opportunity to put us right and read out the results of their polling.
