Ep 16 - Nina Williams - A world renowned climber talks about her life as a professional climber and sending and suffering that is happening along the ...

50 minutes

Ever wonder what it’s like to send a 55ft boulder… with no rope? My next guest would know. Epic high-baller, aspiring trad climber, and overall badass lady crusher Nina Williams has quite the climbing resume these days. Nina is one the few females to send V13, has stood on the podium at national competitions, and knows how to put down some serious outdoor sends. In this episode, we go deep into race and privilege in the climbing community and how the BLM and social movements have carried over to the gym and crag. We also talk mental game, coaching, and leadership. Her path from a young competition climber, to a highball crusher while coaching and earning a degree is seriously inspiring. Nina shares her goals for going into 2021, and we all hope it's going to be a better year.
