An Interview with Marc-André Leclerc (Ep. 6)

Marc-André Leclerc died tragically in a climbing accident in Alaska in March, along with Ryan Johnson. Eighteen months earlier, AAJ associate editor Chris Kalman had recorded a long interview with the young Canadian, in preparation for an article that appeared in AAJ 2017. To honor Marc's life and provide a window into his unique character and intelligence, we offer this edited version of the interview, covering his thoughts about bold climbs from Canada to Patagonia. You can find the 2017 AAJ article covering these ascents here: http://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13201214332/Two-Climbs-Alone. The Cutting Edge Podcast is presented by Hilleberg the Tentmaker and produced by the American Alpine Club.
