Woohoo! I've just launched the first episode of 'Peak Podcast With Ben Sanford'. The first guest is Adam Darragh, he's got endless stories of incredible adventures and lots of wisdom to match that smooth voice of his, we talk about more than just climbing, and the latter half of the episode will appeal more to those interested in climate and science with a sprinkle of philosophy. I'm really proud of this episode, it's one of my favourites and I share a few of my own stories throughout this one too.

Hope you enjoy it! If you do, please share it with a friend who might enjoy it too!

It's also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts but is best watched on YouTube.

Thanks for reading! 💛

Just put out a little doco I shot a couple of years ago, originally this footage was just going to be a 3 min segment in a larger film I'm still working on. La Sportiva Australia asked if I could put anything together for the Vertical Life Film Tour so, I decided to make this a stand-alone film. More info on youtube. Hope you enjoy it!

SEVEN DAYS, NINE WONDERS

It almost seemed like this was a doomed road trip for Blue Mountains photographer Ben Sanford Media. But then, after months of trying, everything came together, and he and his crew were able to string together an amazing sequence of some of Canada’s more aesthetic ice climbs.
