Jeannie Wall - Follow Your Instincts. Part I of a trilogy about a three-woman ascent of El Cap.
Tune in to meet Jeannie Wall, co-founder of Broad Beta. Jeannie epitomizes the term mountain athlete, with high-level accomplishments in a mind-boggling array of disciplines from nordic racing to mixed climbing. She is the ultimate mentor, sharing her knowledge and stoke with climbers of all levels. In this episode, Jeannie shares a story about climbing Lurking Fear, a route on Yosemite's El Capitan, in a team of three women.
Complete with an introduction from Leslie Gains-Germain, her partner in all things Broad Beta and climbing, the story not only gives us a uniquely detailed perspective on big wall climbing, but also reminds us of the importance of trusting our instincts.
This episode is part one of a three-part series, in which each of the three women share their versions of the adventure and its unexpected ending. Read these stories on BroadBeta.com by clicking here.
