Very cool!
Funny how such news barely gets any recognition at all on a climbers forum when the political BS steamrolls on and on and.........

Her guns pale in comparison to her will and dedication. Which, of course, was your point.

Thanks for the girl power PSA, D! These stories are more inspiring to me than any number of sausage-fest sends ever could be.

very cool and inspiring...I checked out her blog, cool writing, pics and then this:

"Through climbing, I am creating a life that holds meaning for me. I want to experience everything life has to throw at me and am super motivated to be the best I can be. Hopefully, in the process I can expand other people’s horizons. Inspiring them to step outside of the preconceived norm, and live life to it’s fullest.

As my climbing ability progresses my desire to climb grows… Climbing is my outlet, a way of expressing who I am and showing my passion for life! Climbing is a wonderful addiction to life."

I like that...

Anyone that frees that monster has my utmost respect... YOWZA!

And yes, she looks like an Alpha Female. That, friends, is the product of thousands of hours of bust-ass hard work.

Congratulations!

Sending that headwall is just amazing, enduro and technical. And that's just one of the cruxes.
