Breaking Ground - Part 1 | Mark Wellman’s Fall & Rise

from Stick & Stone · host Sydney Mantrom

Fear is a gift. Without fear there is no balance to allow for hope, relief, safety. But how do we balance fear and hubris? Hubris and acceptance? If our fate is inevitable as soon as we slip, then how can we decide which is more important before we fall? Because, as every climber knows, it’s not if we fall, it’s how far. This month’s episode is a two part-er, the story of Mark Wellman’s incredible climbing triumphs after he lost the use of his legs.Come back next month for part 2!--For more information about the show and episode sources, check out stickandstonepod.com.Get updates on upcoming episodes by following on Instagram @stickandstonepod.Support the show and get episodes two days before the main feed on Patreon.
