Do all professional climbers live in Vans?

Question

Jordan Cannon · Answer

To All Professional climbers live in Van. No, I'll professional climbers. Definitely do not live in Vans, but that is very valid question because there are many people that do even non professional climbers and it really just depends on the kind of lifestyle that you're trying to live. And so for me personally I choose to live in a van because it's simple and I get to be mobile because climb the climbing season. Never really. Ends, if you're willing to move around the country and Chase weather, where it's best, and there's tons of places to climb. And so living in a van really gives me the freedom and Mobility to do that, but also enables me to live pretty cheaply and simply as well. And so a lot of professional climbers choose to take that route for a period of time. Particularly like earlier in there, they're climbing careers and then maybe get houses later on down the road, where they'll live in the house for you? No a few months out of the year and then maybe travel internationally other parts of the year and then maybe even live in their van on on you know shorter climbing trips throughout the year as well. And so yeah. It really just depends on what kind of climbing lifestyle you want.

Do all professional climbers live in Vans, definitely not some professional climbers do live in Vans because they just love traveling from place to place and I think that is possible definitely in America because a lot of climbing sort of follow the seasons so they'll go to one climbing destination for the winter wear in the summer, it's too hot and then they'll go to somewhere else in the spring and then somewhere else in the summer. You know which is suitable for summer conditions and know just sort of like follow the seasons around in the Vans but definitely like or professional climbers. Don't live in Vans. I'm a professional climber and I don't live in a van. I have a house and I home. Yeah, and it's not on Wheels. So maybe that's something that people have seen from, I don't know, like the the Yosemite films that being out recently like free solo with Alex Honnold. And the dorm wall and stuff like that where it has that more American sort of yeah van lifestyle, where the following the seasons. But for me and a lot of people either know, a lot of people that I know, they definitely don't all live events.

Do all professional climbers live in Vans. Nope, not all professional climbers live in Vans. I definitely don't live in a van but I do have a campervan that I use for accessing climbing areas and spending a little longer time. In those areas when I have specific projects, I think a lot of climbers like to live in van because they love traveling. And spending a lot of time on the road, the downside to living in a van is it can be quite difficult at times. Times it can be quite tiring. It can be quite draining on the body for long periods of time. It often means that you are jumping from place to place. You might not have a lot of consistency in your training or be at the same climbing wall. If you're going through like a training phase, I certainly like to have phases where I'm in the van and these phases are usually when I'm on climbing trips specific trips for are relatively short period of time. Anywhere from four three, two, three to six weeks, really? I don't think that for me spending any longer than that in the van, is that good for my climbing and I prefer just to come home and, and have a bit of a rest and just train at a local climbing wall before heading out another trip in the van.
