Climbing has been a passion for Heather Robinson ever since she started climbing 11 years ago. Despite the concerns of her peers, she quit a steady job as a veterinarian to climb full time, but to her, it was not giving up a profession:
“You only live once to be able to do something different and to pursue your passion.”
In this video, Heather Robinson works the Rifle, Colorado route The Gayness (5.14a).
