Professional climber Beth Rodden joins the Rock Doc for a reflective conversation about her lifelong relationship with climbing, from serving on the Access Fund board early in her career to pushing the limits of traditional climbing with her first ascent of Meltdown (5.14c) in Yosemite. In this episode of Policy Rx, Beth and Erik explore how climbing has changed over the past few decades, the policies and infrastructure that make modern climbing possible, and what today’s trends, including advanced training and evolving stewardship practices, might mean for the next generation of climbers.
