Mount Roraima Podcast Series
December 20, 2019 - 2 minutes read
Climbing Guyana’s incredible Mt Roraima is the focus of a new five-part series on Terra Incognito: The Adventure Podcast. The episodes run from preparation and takeoff in Georgetown, parachute drop into the Guyana rainforest, trekking through the pristine jungle to reach the fabled mountain, and then the climb itself up Roraima’s imposing 1,300-foot (400-meter) rock wall.
Episode 25:
This is it: our first expedition podcast, sent back from Guyana where Matt is on expedition with Leo Holding and team, heading for Mount Roraima.
We hear from all of the team, in Georgetown, as they get their kit ready for the parachute drop and the ensuing jungle trek to the base of the wall.
Episode 26:
An update from Guyana. In this episode, Matt talks to Waldo Etherington (of Episode 002) as they trek through the Amazonian forest, en route for Mount Roraima. Waldo describes the nature they’re walking through, and how to survive in this difficult climate.
Producer’s note: The sound is somewhat muffled due to the compressed files that were necessary in order to send these audio files out of the jungle!
Episode 28:
One week in to the Roraima Expedition, Matt sits down with the youngest member of the team, Anna Taylor, to talk about her jungle experience so far.
Episode 29:
Advanced base camp has been established, and it’s time to head up the wall. Before they do, here’s an in-depth expedition update from team leader Leo Houlding.
Episode 30:
The team are now living on the wall, and finding their way up it. Waldo talks us through the route so far – right at Tarantula Terrace, right again at Invisible Ledge and round The Anvil – and the roles each team member plays in getting the expedition to the top of Mount Roraima.
