About this episode
The episode features an interview with Nic Whalen, discussing his contributions to the revival of Stonelifting in Iceland.
In this episode we had the chance to speak with one of Stonelifting's great unsung heroes, Nic Whalen. A man whose relationship with Stonelifting is relatively private, but whose contributions to the revival of historical stones across Iceland are vast, having created countless opportunities for lifting enthusiasts to participate in this incredible historical strength ritual. We discuss his approach to finding these strength relics, his passion for Iceland, and his progression from a lap high lift during his first encounter to having made multiple successful walks around the pen with the mighty Husafell Stone!!!
