From competing in youth climbing competitions to trad and sport climbing as an adult, Fallon explores the importance of mental resilience and self-compassion in navigating the challenges of climbing with a health condition. Mel and Fallon consider the misconceptions and challenges faced by paraclimbers, and the importance of respect, community, and finding supportive environments in climbing.
