Gus Taylor is happiest when he's climbing. From the Blue Mountains to Joshua Tree, Gus has travelled the world, seeing each new place from the greatest heights. But his favourite hobby became 'revolting' to him, after he faced not one, but two life changing moments. 

In this episode, he shares his devastating journey of losing one of his best mates in a freak-accident, and his return to the ropes to honour him.

Best of Head Game: At the Mercy of Mother Nature

In December 2004, Rebekah Giles made the spontaneous decision to book a holiday to Thailand. After a busy year working as a lawyer, she decided a week on the idyllic Phi Phi Island would be the reset she needed.

But her relaxing break quickly turned into a total nightmare, when the deadliest tsunami in modern history struck. 

20 years on from that horrific day, Rebekah shares her story and reflects on the tragedy.
