Perfect Flow #18: Adventure and Climbing with Alastair McDowell

In this episode of the Perfect Flow podcast I talk with my friend and well-known Kiwi adventurer Alastair McDowell about running, adventure sports and climbing. Alastair has spent the past few years hopping around the world and has brought back a wealth of experience and some great stories from climbs up frozen waterfalls in the Canadian winter to multi day missions on Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan.

“The funny thing with ice climbing is that you almost never fall” – Alastair McDowell 2019. Photo cred: Gavin Lang Photography.

The topics we cover are:

  • The experience of being a Kiwi overseas
  • His introduction to adventure sports
  • Winging it versus consistency
  • His experiences with trad, alpine, ice, and big wall climbing
  • Risk
  • Trekking and Trailpinism
