Dirtbag Diaries climbing travel show by Richad Halsey

Living the dream of a travelling climber in a non-professional, non-sponsored manner is liberating but not particularly glamorous. My extended sabbatical from the real world is a story of phenomenal places, amazing people and great climbing, but also extreme money-saving measures. So please join me for visuals and vocals from a trip less ordinary: crags, characters and dumpsters in Australia and the Americas."
