TBP 045 :: Ethan Pringle on Jumbo Love 15b, The Nest V15, and Depression

About Ethan Pringle

Ethan Pringle is a 29 year-old professional rock climber who's had immense success in the competition scene as well as on real rock. He made the 2nd ascent of Jumbo Love (5.15b) and has done a few V14s and is working on his first V15 (The Nest). He's an all around strong, determined climber, and I wanted to know what makes him tick.
