Ben Cossey on Wolfgang Güllich, Punks in the Gym, and Lightweight Baby

Ben Cossey on Wolfgang Güllich, Punks in the Gym, and Lightweight Baby

Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s!

There’s really no debate. In the pantheon of Wolfgang Güllich frothers, there is no person who is as much a frother as Australian superstar Ben Cossey. In May of 2024, Ben made the first ascent of a long-standing project at Mt. Arapiles in Australia, Lightweight Baby, finally finishing what became the hardest pitch in the area - and within sight of Wolfgang’s route, Punks in the Gym.

In this episode we get into what makes Arapiles special, the history of Punks and the Birdbath, a wiggle sneak to Wallstreet, and then we come back to Araps to discuss Lightweight Baby.
