Nancy Feagin has spent the past several years pursuing her dreams by climbing all over the world. For Nancy, 'climbing' means: mountaineering, big walls, ice climbing and sport climbing. In addition to the technical aspects of climbing, the other part of adventuring that Nancy particularly enjoys is the friendships forged along the way. She knows very well that working together towards a common goal, whether the summit is achieved or not, involves intense emotions, compromise and the open sharing of the good times as well as the challenging ones.
