    Episode 8 - Craig DeMartino: Climber at Heart

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 13, 2021 83:43


    You may be familiar with Craig DeMartino as a climber and heard the story. It often begins at the point that he goes climbing in 2002 and takes a 100 foot fall into a tree and hits the ground. What followed the horrific accident was months of physical and emotional ups-and-downs, fused vertebrae in both his back and neck, and eventually the amputation of the lower portion of his right leg. But it is what's occurred in the years that have followed that we wanted to talk about. Craig is a climber, a husband, a dad, a coach and mentor. On any given day you might find Craig and his wife Cyndy traveling to a far-off Puerto Rican cliff or sessioning at the local gym. Or you might encounter Craig coaching a group of veterans on the best way to stay engaged in climbing movement as a means to manage PTSD. And while Craig is not your "average climber" (he's a professional with multiple sponsors) at his core he is still: a climber at heart.
