137. Emily Harrington, Pro Rock Climber
b'
This conversation is magical. This week, I am so elated to bring you my chat with Emily Harrington, pro rock climber and adventurer. On Election Night, when most of us were glued to CNN and other coverage, she was making history \\u2014 starting a free climb of the route Golden Gate on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Over the course of the next 21+ hours, she became the first woman to free climb this route in under 24 hours, a huge accomplishment. I knew instantly that I had to have her on the show, ASAP.
\\nFor episode 137, Emily talks to me all about this impressive goal \\u2014 from the planning to the execution \\u2014 and details a super scary moment when she fell during her climb, completely puncturing her forehead. She also gives me some of her backstory \\u2014 how she got involved in climbing in the first place growing up in Boulder, Colorado \\u2014 and how at one point she was deciding between becoming a lawyer or taking on the sport professionally. You want some motivation? This episode is full of it.
