In this episode of BoxTalks, Dhillan chats with the incredible Conrad Anker. Conrad's career has been immensely successful, yet punctuated by lots of personal tragedy - the loss of friends, mentors and climbing partners. His life trajectory has been repeatedly altered, especially by the loss of his best friend, Alex Lowe, in 1999. All of this is well known.  Here, he opens up about a variety of personal and social subjects:  

1. The history of exploration and expeditions 
2. Privilege in the modern climbing world 
3. His process of dealing with loss Mentor-ship initiatives 
4. His earliest visit to India Is there less 'shame' around grief today? 
5. How he started climbing  

It's less a chat about climbing exploits and more an insight into his perspectives about subject matter relevant to everyone. Informed, of course, by one of the greatest careers in climbing.
