“he is so gay” Zappa.

I don’t listen to music while climbing. Ruins my solitude I guess. I also don’t climb indoors or boulder. So maybe it’s different. But couldn’t imagine disturbing my peace with music in such beautiful silence on the wall

I always used to listen to Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden before a hard route.

Anything folksy gets me in the mood to go out and hike and climb. Switzerland by the Last Bison is what comes to mind right away.

Edit: put together a playlist with the majority of the songs I could find from this thread
