Heather Weidner grew up in Las Vegas, NV. After five years as a veterinarian and weekend warrior, she finally realized that what she really wanted to be doing was rock climbing. Heather is a perfect mix of gentle and fierce: as sweet as can be with people and animals – always smiling – but relentless on the wall. She’s climbed up to 14b sport (Stockboy’s Revenge) and 14a R trad (China Doll). This episode lies very close to my heart, because it was recorded only three days before her son Dallas Dean Weidner was born. In our conversation, Heather shares her journey toward motherhood, the challenges along the way and the beauty of building her own family.
