In this edition of the podcast, LEGEND editor David Pickford presents a special extended version of his provocative 2015 essay 'The Heart of Nature'. Originally published in the American mountaineering journal Alpinist, the essay reflects on the first ascent of a big wall climb in Oman in 2005, the rapidly changing role of adventure photography in the digital age, the influence of social media on the outdoor community, and many other topics.
