<description>&lt;p&gt;Mary Eden is known on Instagram as Trad Princess but in real life, she&amp;#8217;s one of the sport&amp;#8217;s best offwidth crack climbers. Recently she acheived the first female ascent of Century Crack, perhaps the world&amp;#8217;s longest and hardest wide roof crack.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But first, we talk about what everyone’s talking about. Alex Honnold and Taipei 101. To listen to the full intro bit, however, you&amp;#8217;ll need to head over to Patreon.com/runoutpodcast to become a supporter of the show. With just a few more subscribers, we&amp;#8217;ll make as much money as Honnold did free soloing Taipei.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today&amp;#8217;s final bit comes from the heavy metal band Bygone, with Canmore-based climber Noah Stachulski on guitar. When Noah&amp;#8217;s not contemplating dry-tooling ethics, he&amp;#8217;s debating his music bros on how to classify different genres of metal. Little surprise these the two worlds go together so well. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Show Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
