A Big Wall Story by Lara Neumeier

El Corazón and Beyond – How to Prepare for Your First Big Wall

In this workshop, Lara Neumeier will share the story of my first big wall experience – El Corazón on El Capitan – including the challenges I faced and the lessons I took away for future climbs. Together with the group, we’ll explore the key factors behind a successful big wall mission, with a strong focus on preparation. The goal is to share my personal experience with the community and provide practical tools, honest insights, and the confidence to take the next step toward their first big wall adventure.
