During our holiday hiatus - we got a question that really stuck out to us. "It feels like my climbing partners don't always fit with the way I want to approach climbing. How do I find the right partners for me?"We took that question and ran with it. In this episode we're talking partnerships vs. friendships, what to look for in a climbing partner, the red flags we'd avoid, and how to build community. Good climbing partnerships don't just happen - it takes work. Tune in to hear how it's done.CAITLIN LINKS:1. Apply For Caitlin's Nutrition Coaching https://www.caitlinholmes.com/apply-now2.
