#25 Nick Martinez - Trials and Triumphs of a Modern Day Stone Monkey
Manage episode 423415604 series 3549231
Nick Martinez has been quietly ticking the hardest and scariest big walls in Yosemite for the last two decades. 🧗♂️ From early climbing dreams in Brazil, Nick made his way to Yosemite, finding community with legends like Jim Bridwell, Dean Potter and the Huber brothers, and making a name for himself amongst the Valley titans. 💪
Despite profound heartbreak of losing loved ones and his own near-fatal BASE jumping accident, Nick found a way to keep climbing, and finding purpose in the mountains he loves. ⛰️
Get ready for laughs too as Nick, a natural storyteller with a dry wit, recounts wild anecdotes from climbing alongside El Cap legends, epic climbs, close calls, and the unique dirtbag ethos. 🏕️
Nick's story is a powerful reminder that even amidst the darkest shadows, there is always a path forward. This rare and candid interview is not to be missed.
