#43: Beth Rodden - A Softer Strength Part 1

Beth Rodden is renowned for her determination, grit and ability to unlock some of the hardest lines in the climbing world. She is a trail blazer for female climbers wanting to push the boundaries of what was once thought possible.

In a community that is often fuelled by bravado, Beth has also created space for a softer strength. One that is open, and vulnerable, and connects us deeply through the human experience. 

It was a privilege to speak with Beth about the constant exploration and unfolding discovery of her own life experience. Part One of our conversation delves into Beth's introduction to motherhood, and the way we relate to our bodies through climbing, injuries, and the different stages of life.
