Episode description

Chelsea Murn is no stranger to solo bouldering. In fact, she was alone in the woods for many of the hardest boulders she's ever done (and she's racked up a few V10s in her day).

Many climbers struggle to get outdoors as often as they'd like - and part of that struggle comes from coordinating with climbing partners. 

Enter - SOLO BOULDERING. 

In this episode we cover
- the risks you take when bouldering by yourself
- building self-trust
- Chelsea's favorite gear recs
- and more!
