Favia Dubyk

Elite climber Favia Dubyk shares her struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game. 

-

If there’s anyone who personifies struggle, and the the breakthroughs that can come from it, Favia is that person. She almost died, multiple times, as she battled cancer and the complications from treatment; she has faced, and continues to face, racism and discrimination on and off the rock; she battled her way back from debilitating injuries and atrophy post-cancer… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Favia is a doctor, a ridiculously strong climber, an ultimate ninja warrior, and a low-ball boulderer with many V-double-digits to her name. Her story is as unbelievable as it is inspiring.
