Competitive climbing is a very demanding sport that requires a lot of strength, agility and courage.  Today’s guest is a world champion, gold medal winning climber who scales the most challenging of walls whilst also having a very significant visual impairment.

This week on Talking in the Dark Evie speaks with world champion paraclimber and patron of the VICTA charity, Abbie Robinson.

In today’s conversation Evie speaks with Abbie and learns all about her particular V.I. condition and how she discovered and became involved with climbing when she was a child. Abbie also shares with Evie what it is she loves about climbing, the skills and qualities that she deems important to her success, and also the fantastic work that she does promote and support the wonderful VICTA charity.

This was a fascinating conversation with an exceptional sports person and we thank Abbie greatly for her time and sharing her experience so generously.
