Welcome to the 2nd episode of season 2 of The Send Space.

In this episode Allister Fenton speaks with Terry White about “Vertical Chess”.

Terry takes us through his early days of climbing from starting out with the scouts to becoming entrenched in the sport with the Wits University Mountain Club. From climbing in Tonquani and in the Burg, Terry brings us back to the ‘why we climb’ and the importance of truly experiencing the sport to its fullest potential. Terry reminds us of the unique nature of the sport and how experiencing things like the thrill of trad climbing and surrounding yourself with a community of people to sings songs and be social, are equally important.

So stick around and let Terry convince you why we do the sport in the first place!
