About this listen

I had a wild first year of climbing. From learning the basics at a bouldering gym to going up 2000' trad lines, this is the story of some of my favorite adventures, what I learned about myself, and why I needed to walk away from the adventure of it all. I hope you enjoy this episode and find it as a source of inspiration, not matter what you're doing in life.
