Dirtbag Climber

Dirtbag Climber

British Columbia police were stumped by the 2017 murder of Jessie James, an avid “dirtbag” rock climber, campground philosopher, and shit-posting online troll who lived out of his truck. After years of dead ends, investigators learned the victim had been using an alias, after walking away from a checkered past in the US. Reporter and local climber Steven Chua dug into the story of this con artist who was among the first to harness the Internet’s power for hate speech, spam advertising, and online fraud. After making a world wide web of enemies, did someone finally locate the shape-shifting provocateur in the Canadian woods and take their revenge?

From CBC Podcasts comes “Dirtbag Climber from Uncover.” Chua crisscrosses North America to learn more about Andrew Britt Greenbaum and his life of cons and contradictions. The host’s search for truth follows the trail he left behind - one alias, one scam, one climb at a time.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "DIRTBAG CLIMBER" BEGIN IN THE FINAL EIGHT MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
