Rock climbing is a sport that not only challenges you physically but, mentally & emotionally as well. And many climbers look at that big wall, not as conquering it, but as conquering themselves. This week we welcome two professional rock climbers, Expedition Climber Ben Rueck, and Gym Owner & Coach, Marcus Garcia to explain why rock climbing is their biggest passion. We discuss mentorship, what creating routes mean & why it is so important to protect access to climbing areas. Ben & Marcus also share some of the craziest adventures they have experienced in some of the most amazing places all over the world, including a few life or death situations they had to overcome. If you have wanted to try rock climbing, stick around, because this podcast may give you the motivation you need- to make the first ascent.
