Summary

Carol Simpson is a 77-year-old rock climber and yoga instructor from Lone Pine, CA. We talked about growing up in the South in the 1950s, identifying as a “tomboy”, feeling pressure to be feminine as a teenager, embracing athletics in her 30s, discovering climbing at age 42, sending her first 5.12a at age 53, yoga as the fountain of youth, and ageism in climbing. *I loved this conversation. If you enjoy exploring different perspectives from your own, and hearing about others’ lived experiences, don’t skip this episode.

0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. I took some this morning, and Athletic Greens
0:06.6	has become one of my favorite parts of my morning routine. This morning, I woke up through a scoop
0:12.2	of athletic greens in a water bottle that I kept in the fridge all night, so it was nice and cold.
0:17.3	I shook it up and sipped on that while I was making my coffee and it's super refreshing
0:22.2	and I just love the flavor. There's some apple and some pear extracts in there along with
0:27.4	some stevia to make it delicious but not too sweet and I really enjoy it. I look forward to it every
0:32.6	morning just as much as my first cup of coffee. So why do I take Athletic Greens, aside from it being
0:38.6	refreshing and delicious? Well, I think of it as all-in-one nutritional insurance. Athletic Greens

0:50.7	adaptogens, and it really gives you all of the micronutrients to meet your daily
0:55.0	needs. I like to eat whole foods when it comes to my nutrition. I mostly follow a paleo approach,
1:00.9	but it's hard to eat perfectly all the time, especially when you live on the road and are
1:05.5	traveling and climbing. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that. So the thing I love about
1:10.2	athletic greens is that when I take my one scoop in the morning, I know I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that. So the thing I love about Athletic Greens is that
1:11.1	when I take my one scoop in the morning, I know I'm covered. If you want to see what all the fuss is
1:16.1	about, Athletic Greens is going to give you guys listeners to this podcast a free one-year supply
