At Home With LYNN HILL: Greatest Climber Of All Time

Author(s): Hannah Morris Bouldering
Video Release Date: September 29, 2024
Video Source: YouTube

Lynn Hill is a living legend in rock climbing, and one of the greatest climbers of all time. She rewrote the definition of what was possible in climbing in 1993, when she was the first person – man or woman – to free climb The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite – the most iconic big wall in the world. When asked who my dream collaboration would be on the Hannah Morris Bouldering channel, Lynn Hill’s name has always been right at the top of the list. I never thought I’d get the opportunity to climb with her on her home wall in Boulder, Colorado, until in late September last year – thank you so much to ‪@roapcoaching917‬ for making it happen. Climbing on a homemade replica of the iconic climb in her backyard, ‪@LynnHillClimbing‬ told stories of near death experiences, free falling 70 feet in a climbing accident, and shared personal insights into her achievements, which go well beyond climbing the nose. Thank you so much to Lynn for showing us around your home wall, and for sharing your stories.
