Ep. 810: Climbing El Capitan at 70 Years Old - Dierdre Wolownick

At 55, Dierdre began long-distance running and has done numerous marathons, half-marathons, and other races. At 59, she began rock climbing, and at 66, she became the oldest woman to climb Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan. This year, she celebrated her 70th birthday by going up El Cap again and camping on the summit.

She’s from New York City and has taught five foreign languages on three continents for 44 years. Her writing has appeared in books, in magazines worldwide, and has won awards. Her independent publishing company produced several award-winning and international sellers. A musician all her life, Dierdre founded and conducted the West Sacramento Community Orchestra, and played in many community orchestras on flute, clarinet or piano/keyboard.

Oh yeah, she’s also the mother of climbing legend, Alex Honnold.

You can find her book, The Sharp End of Life pretty much anywhere.

Tamela Rich began her love affair with the open road as a child, traveling with her family in the Vista Cruiser wagon from Ohio to California every other summer. She re-discovered America in the wake of a personal crisis, when she learned how to ride a motorcycle and took her first solo cross-country ride. Tamela learned to ride when she was 48 and three months after getting her motorcycle endorsement, took off on an 18-state 7500 mile solo trip from NC to Oregon and back. Since then she's traveled 47 states and 5 Canadian provinces on her motorcycle, mostly solo. Her award-winning book, "Live Full Throttle: Life Lessons from Friends Who Faced Cancer" was based on two years of cross-country motorcycling for cancer causes.  www.tamelarich.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/tamelarich Twitter: @TamelaRich Our Sponsors: * Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
