The Power Company Climbing Podcast

Every summer, Kris emcees the International Climbers Festival here in Lander, Wyoming. One of his favorite parts of doing the event is being able to introduce the keynote speakers. It was quite a lineup this year, with big names like Chris Kalous and Brittany Goris. But it was one of the opening speakers who ended up stealing the show: Indian climber and force of nature, Prerna Dangi. Prerna’s time in Lander was just one of many stops she’s making this year on a big climbing trip throughout the US. With plenty of hours logged in the alpine, on a rope, and over crash pads, she’s got experience and goals on ice, rock, and beyond. But her biggest goal of all — and the one she’s certainly dedicating the most to — is to continue building an empowered community of female climbers in India. DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: How Prerna got her start in climbing. The climbing scene in India and how it differs from here in the US. The ongoing development of climbing in India. How organizations like CLAW (Climb Like a Woman) are empowering women in India to climb. How Prerna is finding her power — as a climber, a role model, and a community leader.   Support Prerna through The Climbing Leadership Fund! Learn more about CLAW - Climb Like a Woman!

Resin, rosin, pof. Whatever you call it, it's widely accepted that we should NOT use it while climbing. It's said to ruin holds - both indoors and out. Now it might be in your chalk. Block, liquid, and powder.  This is a public service announcement.  Learn more about the science of climbing on Breaking Beta.   Read more about pof and rosin usage: UK Climbing Forum To Pof or Not To Pof?

Ten years ago this week in April, 2012, Rannveig Aamodt made a nearly fatal mistake while cleaning the anchors of a sport route in Turkey. She fell 50 feet to the ground, shattering her back, pelvis, arm, and both ankles. We won’t be going into what caused the accident, but you can read that story, including some heart wrenching excerpts, at her blog about the accident. Instead, this episode is about her recovery. The physical and mental approach she took. The resilience and the will. It’s about how she went from clinging to life, to climbing harder than ever, and what it took to get back on the sharp end, and past the spectre of that moment. This conversation originally aired on February 19, 2016. Find Rannveig online:   Her Site. Instagram. Facebook.
