Elite climber Guy McNamee shares his struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game.
-
Guy was born in Haiti, raised in Canada, and has been a force in boulder and lead competitive climbing throughout his teen years… which he only just recently moved beyond. Guy is a 7 time national champion, most recently taking the top spot in boulder at Canadian Nationals and then following that up a few days later, on his 20th birthday, by taking lead nationals as well. Guy is very focused on his training but he’s also a pretty normal 20-year-old… working at Starbucks to pay the bills and messing around with his brother and friends, all the while keeping his eye on the long game in this sport he loves so much. The future is bright for Guy McNamee.
