Josie McKee | Sport Climbing to Train for Big Walls and Narrowing Failure (Part 1)

The Power Company Climbing Podcast - A podcast by Plug Tone Audio | Power Company Climbing

Josie McKee has been climbing for more than 20 years, racking up speed records, FA’s, and a huge wealth of experience and knowledge in that time. She’s been up El Cap more than 20 times, even working on the YOSAR team for 3 years. Now based in Lander, she found herself with limestone sport climbing as her primary means to train for a recent Yosemite trip. This is the first of 2 episodes where Kris and Josie discuss how this trip and prepping for it forced Josie to really consider her relationship with climbing – especially in Yosemite – and her identity as a climber.   Learn more about Josie's mindset coaching at Mind Athlete.
