I built a weekly “TLDR for climbing” roundup — would love feedback from climbers

Hey everyone — I’ve been working on a small climbing newsletter called Slow Climbing.

The idea is simple: once a week, it collects climbing videos, articles, podcasts, news, and community posts into one short roundup so you don’t have to check YouTube, Reddit, climbing media, and podcasts separately.

Think: TLDR for climbing — less feed-scrolling, more good beta.

A few links from this week’s issue:

I’d love feedback:

• Would you subscribe to something like this?

• What sources should I include?

• Would you prefer more training content, outdoor climbing, competition news, podcasts, or community posts?

• What would make this actually useful every week?

Not trying to spam — genuinely looking for feedback from climbers before I keep building it out.
