Domesticity is underrated.

Attention LADIES!!! @she_movesmountains season at Smith Rock has officially begun, and we’re still taking signups for our 1:1 or 2:1, fully tailored to you multi-pitch clinics. These clinics are great for women who already know how to lead and are ready for the next step, or even those who just want to be really competent followers. Multi-pitch skills open up a whole new world in climbing - a beautiful and wild one - from desert towers and North Cascades summits to long sport routes in El Potrero Chico and even Smith’s own Monkey Face! So let’s do it! DM me or get in touch via the @she_movesmountains website. . . 📷: @forestwoodward

Well this is so exciting! Our labor of love, Speak To Me Softly, has made it into @5pointfilm - now the masses can watch me strugglebus on the big screen! In all seriousness through, this little film is a piece of my heart dangled out into the world, and it’s incredible to watch it be so well received. Climbing media doesn’t have to be all about sending (because how often is climbing itself all sending?!)! @hennataylorfilms and @_matthewhood really did something special here, and as always, @outdoorresearch was happy to support the process. If you haven’t seen the film yet and are keen to, check out the link in my profile.☝🏼

My first trip to the desert was in the spring of 2012, packed five-deep in a Subaru on a one-day push from Seattle. It was spring break, and we were making the most of it. Indian Creek blew my mind and stole my heart, and the desert and its dirtbags showed me a life I wanted but didn’t know how to have. Apparently, I set off to find it. I did the math the other day, and it’s been eight years now that I’ve made the spring pilgrimage to the desert, every year since that first trip. Some stays have been longer than others, some focused and others more meandering. Each year though, it’s barely a conscious decision to come south - but I suppose geese or elk don’t really ponder their seasonal migrations either. It just feels right. ✨
