Climbers I Admire
• Lynn Hill (born 1961)
• Famous for making the first free ascent of the Nose Route on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley
• Girl power!• Relaxation, acceptance, and keeping open mind are key. First
of all, peak performance isn’t possible if one is not relaxed, and if one is going to stay relaxed they must simply accept problems when they arise and decide to solve them.” --Lynn Hill
Chris SharmaDeep Water Solo Climb
"The hardest thing is to do
something the first time. Someone
has to have that vision, [to say] 'Oh,
that's possible.' And once it's done,
then other people can see, 'Oh
yeah, it is possible.' And it becomes
way easier for other people to do it,
too."
