BRONWYN HODGINS | OCEAN TO ASGARD
Professional climber Bronwyn Hodgins may be
known on screen for floating down the Weasel
River on a pink flamingo in the film Ocean to
Asgard, but she has since written her name in
the history books by becoming the third woman
to free climb Golden Gate, a 34-pitch route on El
Capitan, in May 2021. The ascent took her eight
days and was the culmination of nearly a decade
of climbing and six months of specific training and
preparation.
Leading up to Golden Gate, Bronwyn joined
a group of women on a sport climbing trip to
Potrero Chico in Mexico. “We rented a large villa
with a pool and called it Tequila Villa.” There
she dedicated a few weeks to cleaning a 900ft
overhanging, orange limestone wall called El
Gavilan (Spanish for The Hawk) with Savannah
Cummins. They plan to finish the route, but
Bronwyn is first hoping to complete her full Rock
Guide Exam before returning to her home in
Squamish, British Columbia.
