The Many Stages of a Climbing Career With Enni Bertling


Listen Later

Enni Bertling has seen it all when it comes to climbing in Finland. When she started she was one of the few climbers in the country, then she helped form the Finnish Ice Climbing Team, and is now the Head of the Youth National Team, among other roles too numerous to list but which also includes routesetting, coaching, and occasionally competing when the mood strikes. 

Still, despite how it sounds, her path to a professional climbing career was anything but straightforward.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • 🧊 Transitioning away from scientific research
  • 🧊 Winning the first-ever World Cup medal for Finland
  • 🧊 How she thinks about coaching and mentoring youth
  • 🧊 What the climbing in Finland is like
  • 🧊 What you do with only 1 hour of daylight in winter

🧊 Resources and links
As is a trend among many of our guests, Enni keeps a low social profile. But, if you’d like to follow her for occasional updates, her handle is @ennibertling.
