- A decade ago climbing’s most controversial figure wasn’t someone who’d lied, chopped routes, or chipped holds. It was a young woman who’d savvily harnessed the internet and social media to power her competitive career. Unintentionally, Sierra Blair became a lightning rod. Today, Sierra’s approach might simply be considered best practice for an athlete on social media, but a decade ago it sparked conversations about who gets to call themselves an athlete or a “real” climber, and it exposed a vein of misogyny flowing through our sport. With that period firmly in the rearview mirror and climbing harder than ever, Sierra shares her journey through climbing, professionalism, and the Internet.

That’s why I’m here
Can you possibly get even a skype interview with Janja Garnbret = the Wayne Gretzky of climbing...well womens at least
Sierra was too hot and too based (the vax issue, on which she proved correct) for the "woke" gatekeepers in climbing. Success is the best revenge.
She rocks. But "proved correct" ? 🧐🧐

@@isaacjamesbaker I'm not sure how they got proven correct either, I'd say they didn't
Oh, yeah... the big bad "wokism" 😂
@@robtournadre IDK about you but pre 2020 my local gym was not a temple of LGBT worship. Climbing is infested with people who hate anything beautiful and healthy.
