I didn’t get this V8(?) but did win first place in women’s advanced- woohoo! Got to take home a crashpad and some goodies. Thanks @riverstoneclimbing_gym for the fun comp.

Sensorial pleasures of Sol Duc Valley in @olympicnationalpark, in ancestral Klallam and Quileute lands. * * I am feeling extra inspired by Olympic NP’s efforts to acknowledge tribal homelands and engage in self-reflection (seriously, check out their insta!). Land education is important to me professionally and personally, yet something I’ve been feeling cognitive dissonance over since I work for public lands. Often National park’s do little to acknowledge the history, genocide, and displacement that have occurred to construct that place. The work that Olympic, @washingtontrails and individuals like @caliwolf and @mynameisbam are doing thru social media has inspired me to “do better,” even if it’s not perfect. We - meaning non-Indigenous folks - have to, at the very least, TRY to do better and not be complicit in erasure! * * Do you know the true history of where you live? You can look at native-land.ca to find territory, language, and treaty info. It’s an easy “first step” to engage in critical cartography and decolonization. For more, you can also check out the #expandthenarrative campaign started by @mynameisbam.

For #optoutside we ventured into @olympicnationalpark to pick up trash... and you know, hike! Along with some good views, we found a plastic water bottle, soda can, candy wrappers and the little round stickers on fruit. It’s getting us excited for next summer to help clean up the Pacific Crest Trail while we thru-hike! @thegroundskeepers @granitegear

Some fun from last weekend - it was crisp out! We wore our micro spikes to walk on the icy trail and over half-frozen creeks. ❄️ #okiguessitswinter

Amos, Parth and I decided it was about time to hangout with our friend Baker. #komakulshan

Real talk: climbing is so very HUMBLING! And I think that’s why it’s good for me. This weekend I was stoked to send - I’ve been training and feel strong. However, I forgot how much of a baby I am in the cold. So I hopped on my v5 project, which is a cave... that never sees the sun... in 30 degree temps... and proceeded to feel dejected. I’d hit the crux and my wittle baby hands and toes screamed from the cold. So then I tried out this V3, took a ride on the struggle bus, and shredded my jacket - woohoo! Time for beer and toe warmers. 🍻 #womenwhoclimb 🎥: @wandering_amosly
