Ep. 810: Climbing El Capitan at 70 Years Old - Dierdre Wolownick

At 55, Dierdre began long-distance running and has done numerous marathons, half-marathons, and other races. At 59, she began rock climbing, and at 66, she became the oldest woman to climb Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan. This year, she celebrated her 70th birthday by going up El Cap again and camping on the summit.

She’s from New York City and has taught five foreign languages on three continents for 44 years. Her writing has appeared in books, in magazines worldwide, and has won awards. Her independent publishing company produced several award-winning and international sellers. A musician all her life, Dierdre founded and conducted the West Sacramento Community Orchestra, and played in many community orchestras on flute, clarinet or piano/keyboard.

Oh yeah, she’s also the mother of climbing legend, Alex Honnold.

You can find her book, The Sharp End of Life pretty much anywhere.
