Description

How do you seek out quality new routes? And, how to adapt your beta and approach to accommodate disability? 

 

Born with limb difference in one hand, Scottish new route pioneer Kev Shields discusses how a sense of community and trust in those around him help him achieve his climbing goals, as he embarks on a quest to send his first E8 trad route. 

 

In this episode, Kev shares how he has learnt to work with the unique challenges of his disability in climbing and training, and explores the positive impact of climbing on his mental health, self-respect, and sense of purpose.
