There Is No Finish Line - An Interview with Brittany Goris
Brittany has dedicated her life to climbing ever since the first time she walked into a climbing gym in Fort Collins, CO, at 9 years old. She went on to become a competition climber and podiumed at a number of comps, including a Canadian Tour de Bloc.
Over the past few years, Brittany has climbed some of the hardest trad routes in the United States, including East Coast Fist Bump (5.14a) in Sedona, Stingray (5.13d), and the Salathé Wall VI (5.13b) on El Capitan. She can be found following the seasons in her van to different climbing areas year-round, while working from the road doing graphic design for Seattle’s Girls Rock Math (an organization that runs STEM-based summer camps for girls).
Brittany loves trying hard, overcoming challenges, and growing as a person through climbing and with her community. As you will hear in this episode, one of the things that keeps Brittany hooked on climbing is the fact that there is no finish line. Her grit, authenticity, and determination will leave you feeling inspired to unlock your true potential and set your sights on bigger goals.
