Description

This week, we welcome professional climber, Tim Emmett, onto the podcast. Kenton and Tim have been friends for over 30 years and their shared passion for climbing is infectious.



Tim loves all styles of climbing from alpine to sport, from ice to deep water solos. But he talks to Kenton today about something very special. He has very recently conquered the Era Vella climb in Spain, graded 9A, after 8 years of training to do so.



He explains his approach to this enormous challenge, from building strength, skill and endurance, to changing his diet and giving up alcohol. Tim went 'all in' to achieve his dream and to climbers and non-climbers alike, this is a truly compelling story.
