Together, Timmy O'Neill and Dean Potter pushed speed climbing in Yosemite to extraordinary places — but Timmy says what drove him was never a death wish. It was a **life wish**.
With Dean Potter back in the spotlight through *Dark Wizard*, I went back to this conversation with Timmy and realized how much of it deserves to be heard again.
We talk about climbing with Dean, risk and fear, how our bodies and priorities change with age, and how all of us — climbers or not — can keep making room for the things that make us feel truly alive.
