Journey to 30: Ice Climbing Fundraiser

I will be climbing 30 pitches of ice with people of marginalized backgrounds as a fundraiser to support people of underrepresented genders in outdoor leadership.

Anyone else day dreaming about climbing volcanoes this summer? 👀

@alldayeddie convinced me to get back on rock last month. We climbed the first flatiron and it was a freakin’ blast!! 🧗🏽‍♀️

“The best way to get better is to climb with people that are better than you.”

In case you haven’t heard, I learned to ski this year and hit the slopes. 💁🏽‍♀️🎿

We come from a machista culture. We know it can plague households, destroy men, murder women, punish queer people, and dehumanize the Disabled. We’ve learned to recognize toxic masculinity in an instant and have spent our entire lives surviving in it. It’s because we know toxic masculinity so well, that we can also recognize positive masculinity.

Tío, tal vez ya no esté con nosotros en vida pero su alegría, sus canciones, y sus recuerdos harán eco por siempre en el cerro y todo Jamay.

So, I learned to ski this season AND I went on my first backcountry tour.

30 🥳, not flirty 😭 (because COVID), but freakin’ thriving. 💁🏽‍♀️
