Episode 199 of The Adventure Podcast features one of the most successful British climbers of all time, Shauna Coxsey. Shauna is a World Cup champion, an Olympian, and a true pioneer in the sport. But this conversation isn’t just about climbing, it’s about what it takes to build a professional athletic career from the ground up when the path doesn’t even exist yet. Shauna talks to Matt about her journey to become a world-class athlete; challenging what it meant to be a professional climber, fighting injury after injury, and helping to reshape the sport. They also discuss her competition retirement, becoming a mother, and how she's still pushing herself as a professional rock climber. This episode is full of honesty, insight, and that rare ability to reflect on ambition, success, and what comes after.
