  • Dear 46: Behind The Training-Intro

    This is the first episode of Jen sharing with you all behind the training of her training towards her goal of flashing Pockets Of Resistance, 12a, down in the New River Gorge.
    This is her "plog" a journal of what she is going through mentally, physically, and emotionally during her training over the course of 12 weeks leading up to her trip to the NRG. Each week she will be sharing what happened and how she is feeling based upon the previous week of training.

    Her hope with sharing, being vulnerable, and 100% not holding back, to break down the barrier many climbers share with her of "but I don't what training be like". Well here it is. Will her experience be the same as yours during training? No. Will there be a lot of similarities and overlap though? Yes.

    Behind the Training, we bringing back VH1 vibes of Behind The Music.
