CLIMBING GUIDE

NICOLA MARTINEZ

Hometown: Yosemite Valley, CA

Nicola is a true advocate of chaos and a well known big wall climber and base jumper in the community. He's a thrill seeker and has had his fair share of dances with death, but this has not stopped him from continuing on with his passion. Today the Yosemite community remains Nicola's home and a converted Sprinter van doubles as his getaway vehicle and shelter. Days are spent in El Cap meadow and at friends’ houses in the nearby communities where they share stories and plan adventures.
