Last rites

On the latest Episode of Enormocast we bring you the long awaited 2026 installment of Last Rites FKA Taps: the annual show where we air our grievances, talk shit about our fellow climbers, and have a good time doing it. As is the recent tradition, the fodder for our silliness is coming from listeners like you. On the block this year is a lot of shit to do with bouldering, automatic girl support, chalantness, day drinking, pregnant women sending, inverted offwidth grades and more. Oh, and its time to repurpose the Roomba for the crag. So tune in and let off a little steam with us. If you are easily offended or believe that climbing is a sacred art that should never be made fun of, skip this one and wait for 321 coming soon. Seriously, we don’t want to hear about it.

Episode 302 of the Enormocast is the annual airing of grievances in climbing: the laments, the beefs, and the sad truths of the dumb shit we do as climbers. What was formerly known as Taps is now Last Rites. Once again, this year’s slam evolves from listeners’ calls. Andy Salo, Andrew Bisharat, and Mary “Token girl” Harlan join Chris to dole out advice, ethics, and perform last rites for the dying trends in climbing we’d like to see live on. We also mark a few things for extermination. Ryan Devlin of the Struggle Podcast stops by, too. On this year’s docket: chalkbag carabiner (again), bitchy looks and girl-on-girl side-eye, downgraders, soft routes in the gym, trad-dads, and much more. Finally, we propose our start-up idea: need a belay on the proj and all your bros are out golfing? Call a Beluber. As usual, the laughs come fast and furious, but leave your sensitivities at the door because one of your sacred cows is likely headed to the butcher.
