National Geographic 2019 Adventurer of the Year and perhaps the best all-around female climber in the world, Babsi Zangerl comes down from the heights to talk about her specialty. Settle in and buckle up as Babsi takes Doc to school on all things climbing, including discussion of portaledge suffering, solving the puzzles, pitches, beta, high balls, trad climbing, sport climbing, life on the big wall, sleepless nights, her Eternal Flame expedition, and the thrill of standing on top of very, very high places. Epic.
