Julia De La Paz is incredibly humble. Which becomes a problem when you want to interview her...
I've know Julia for years and I've always known Julia was good at rock climbing, I didn't realize how good till I started interviewing her. I knew Julia went to comps all over the country and I always gave her notes on the classes she missed because of them. But I didn't realize the true extent of what she was accomplishing. Julia is the kind of person to mention a sponsorship or the fact she has a US Olympics jacket from her last national comp. She's soft spoken and often the words she's saying doesnt match the volume of her voice or her excitement of rock climbing. If I originally wasn't friends with Julia I probably would have made the mistake of making the interview all about her accomplishments. In another life I could have made a 30 min documentary about her awards alone and not even mention her feelings about it. I'm glad I didn't fall into that hole because while that might have been an amazing video it would not have accurately represent who Julia is as a person. Julia's passion about rock climbing is inspiring and cannot be faked. I hope in my next interview I can find emotion just like that If you want to see a rock climber show us the ropes of her favorite sport check out my VIDEOS page!
