Enormocast 243: Miranda Oakley – O, Brave New World

On today’s episode of The Firn Line, we’ll get to know rock climber, big-wall soloist and AMGA certified rock climbing guide, Miranda Oakley. Growing up in Maryland, Miranda learned from a young age the values of compassion, teaching, and working with others. Born to a Palestinian mother, and an American father, Miranda grew in a family that cared deeply about social justice issues, whether it was participating in peaceful anti-war rallies, or attending meetings of the Palestine Aid Society with her mother.Later, in her teens, Miranda started rock climbing at the local gym - and it was during that time, she discovered the calling that would begin to shape her life. In college, she started a climbing club and began making her first road trips with friends. But it wasn’t until she headed west in 2006, to the big walls of Yosemite Valley, that her life’s vision truly came into focus.Since that time, Miranda has become a force in the climbing world. With the support of her longtime sponsor, Mountain Hardware, She’s established herself as a seasoned guide with the Yosemite Mountaineering School, while simultaneously becoming one of the most prolific female trad climbers in the United States. Some of her remarkable ascents include linking Half Dome and El Cap in a day, as well as becoming the first female to rope-solo The Nose on El Cap in under 24 hours.I recently caught up with Miranda, to talk about her remarkable life journey. Our conversation begins during Miranda’s college years - the formative time when her passion for climbing became the driving force in her life.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Learn more about Miranda OakleyWritten &amp; Produced by Evan PhillipsEditing &amp; Sound Design by Pod PeakOriginal Music by Evan PhillipsFor more episodes, check out The Firn LineCheck out our friends at Out There, a podcast that explores big questions through intimate stories outdoors.Support the Firn Line:PatreonPayPalMerchSponsors:Alaska Rock GymThe Hoarding Marmot
