In this episode, Kevin Roet had the pleasure of speaking with Rannveig Aamodt. A remarkable Norwegian climber whose journey into the vertical world began through her older brother and his friends. What started as tagging along quickly evolved into a lifelong passion. For Rannveig, it wasn’t just about the summits or the grades — it was the constant challenge that kept her hooked.

From early days on rock to long, demanding expeditions, Rannveig’s story is one of resilience, determination, and an impressive threshold for discomfort. One expedition in particular — a 3,900 mile ski across the length of Norway.  Not only tested her physical limits but helped shape a mental toughness that would carry her through the hardest challenge of her life.

In 2012, Rannveig survived a horrific climbing accident — a fall that could have ended her climbing career, or worse. But against all odds, she made a remarkably physical recovery. Even more impressively, she emerged mentally stronger. Still, the trauma didn’t vanish overnight. She speaks candidly about the fear of falling that lingered long after her body had healed, and the inner work it took to move through it.

Today, through patience, consistency, and a deep commitment to psychological growth, Rannveig finds herself in a more grounded, self-aware place than before the accident. Her journey is a powerful example of what it means to rebuild — not just muscles and tendons, but mindset and trust.

This conversation is a raw, inspiring look at fear, recovery, and finding strength in places you never expected. Tune in for an honest discussion on falling, rising, and everything in between.
