Austin Geiman recently made waves when he sent the iconic testpiece, Defying Gravity, V15, after 11 years and 100+ sessions. Austin started trying this boulder while it was still a project and he was there when Daniel Woods and Jimmy Webb snagged the FA in 2013 in the film Huntsmen. He continued trying it through the years and then he also was there when the younger generation claimed the long awaited repeats. He finally added his name to the list and has even been supporting the next gen on the sit.
Austin is deeply connected with all aspects of this iconic boulder and he shares with us the background on Defying Gravity, what makes it special, his epic send, and what he thinks about the next level sit.
Austin is also an extremely accomplished life long climber in many other aspects with loads of hard sends and FA’s under his belt, as well as being a World Cup Semi-finalist and Nationals Finalist. He’s also coached, route set, and owns a climbing gym in Colorado Springs (Springs Climbing Center).
