Nina Williams Instagram – Moves made thus far this season. The Swarm is easily the most amount of days, effort, and emotion I’ve put into a climb.
It feels so intense projecting something for this long, structuring my life around ideal times/conditions/body composition/mindset, seeking balance between obsessive focus and calm acceptance. I’ve struggled to share this journey in the past because of uncertainty and doubt. “I sound like a broken record, what if I never send, who cares at the end of the day, it’s just a rock, it’s just a rock, just a stupid rock” – yes, *and* it’s a beautiful piece of stone in the most stunning landscape that has held me, cut me, shaped me for the last decade. I care deeply, it means a lot to me, I love this place and the ritual of challenge that Bishop provides.
I’m back on the Swarm for my fourth dedicated season, not including smaller trips (I first tried this problem in 2015 with @alex_puccio89 when she sent in a session lol). I feel strong, eager, and ready. It still might not be enough. But I’m willing to take that risk, show up, and share the journey as best I can.
Thanks for being here 🙏🏼
