Part 2- In this episode Gabe speaks with professional rock climber Timy Fairfield about his unique story of competing around the world. What was it like for him to compete in a sport that was relatively new in the US and compete internationally? What did Timy do that led to better training and better results? Find out in this amazingly unique episode.
He is a veteran of the US National Competition Climbing Team having competed in domestic and foreign Nationals, World Cups, International Opens, Invitational Masters and Professional Climbers Association level events.
During his 15-year competition career, he spent 5 consecutive seasons ranked in the top 10 of the World Cup Bouldering ranking and overall world ranking. He is an X-Games medalist, US and French national champion and is distinguished as being the only North American rock climber to have won professional level international competitions in every world cup discipline of the sport: speed climbing, bouldering and sport climbing. Timy’s climbing career has brought him to over 40 countries. He lived and trained in France for several years and speaks Spanish and French.
Timy has conducted numerous climbing demonstrations, clinics and multi-day youth performance training camps for junior team programs worldwide. He has represented over 50 brands as a sponsored athlete and served as a spokesman for the historic Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland, OR from 2014-2019. He has worked as a sports analyst for ESPN, Star Sports, OLN and Eurosport in the US, Europe and Asia. As president of Futurist Climbing Consultants, Timy has designed climbing holds, a signature pro model climbing shoe and over 20 commercial climbing gyms.
Still very passionate about his own personal growth through climbing, Timy climbed his hardest route at the age of 46.5 yrs with the first ascent of Throwback V15 – Priest Draw, AZ. His other passions include skiing, soccer, running, archery, international cuisine, philosophy and diverse musical genres. Timy resides in Albuquerque and Arroyo Hondo, NM with his wife, Brandi Proffitt who is also a former professional competition climber.
