Episode Synopsis

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. Nick’s Instagram Nick extends huge thanks to:Rigging International BlueWater RopesPASOKINGreater Tahoe GripWorks📸 credits to:https://www.fredpompermayer.comhttps://www.felipesh.comhttps://www.edsonvandeira.comJenning Steger and Kyler Sparks of Patagonia. --- 🚀 Love the show?
