Pretty fabulous ski day for November! Still a wee bit boney but being able to skin to 13,200feet is pretty dang good.

From @kamalaharris:

But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last. Because every little girl, watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender. Our country has sent you a clear message: dream with ambition, lead with conviction and see yourselves in a way that others may not simply because they've never seen it before... (Photo AP)

Yesterday was a bright moment in an otherwise confusing and stressful week. My friend and inspiration @emilyaharrington accomplished something incredible in her climb of Golden Gate on El Cap. Grade VI, 5.13 first female send and 4th overall send of the route in a single day. Holy sh$@!!!
If you look closely at the photo you can see the bandage on her forehead where she took a deep cut from a fall on the Golden Desert pitch and, against all sound reasoning, she kept going.
.
Tenacity, passion, courage, teamwork, vulnerability, commitment: these are the words that come to mind with this achievement.
.
I ❤️ you Em! Get some sleep and thanks for showing such grit.

It’s hard to believe @jimwmorrison and I were standing on the summit of Lhotse, clicking into our skis almost exactly two years ago. I learned so much from this expedition and look back on it with a ton of pride and memories of a world that seems so different from now. My friends at @roam are hosting a Q&A with Jim and I as we look back on an incredible journey that was #Lhotse. Join us at 4PM MST tomorrow, September 30. See you there–you can join at the link in my bio!

Thank you RBG for your lifelong commitment to fighting for gender equality, for bringing integrity and morality to your work every day. Thank you for the sacrifices you made in your personal life in order to serve the greater good of this nation, for having the patience and empathy to listen to people with whom you did not always agree. As a woman working in a male dominated occupation, I want to thank you for fighting for equal pay. Thank you for defending my right as a woman to make my own choices about my body. You have left us with big shoulders to stand on, I hope we can do this honor justice.

Ryan Patrick has been married to my childhood frie

Ryan Patrick has been married to my childhood friend (Julie Patrick) for 15 years. He’s a firefighter with @clackamasfire outside Portland OR. This man works his ass off and he does it with a smile on his face. He and the rest of the crew have been working non-stop on the wildfire in Clackamas County. According to Jules- they’re putting in 70 hours at a time with only a few hours rest.
.
Only today have the winds eased and there is respite in the devastation and perhaps even a chance for this crew to get a handle on the blaze. Please consider a small donation so they can stay supplied with necessities like water, food (esp grapes 🍇 😊) Tylenol, baby wipes etc.

Last month I was lucky to spend some quality time with @sav.cummins climbing in Wyoming. I knew of her through phone calls and stories from mutual friends but to finally hang out with her at the crag, to march through the darkness at 4am to get the perfect shot and to see the way she navigates her world was straight-up awesome. Despite her young age she has seen a lot in this world. She is kind and humble and funny. She works hard and takes beautiful pictures that connect individual people to the dramatic backdrop of rock and mountains. I’m pretty stoked she’s part of the @thenorthface #athletefamily.

With elections only two months away, I want to encourage everyone to #makeaplantovote. Voting is the foundation of our democracy and one of the most powerful ways to advocate for change. I am certain that my political beliefs are not always in line with everyone reading this but I hope there is one thing we can all agree on: our planet, our home, is worth nurturing and protecting. I’ve used @protectourwinters online tool to make my own plan to vote. POW helps you navigate who, where and how to vote by helping with absentee ballots and more. With over 50 million people in the #outdoorstate, imagine the impact we could have on our public lands and wild places.

The outdoors have always been a place for me to be

The outdoors have always been a place for me to be myself, to try hard, to learn and to adapt. It’s the shared experiences on the wall, on the ice, in the snow that have given me the gift of shared experiences, meaningful friendships and a deep connection to nature and wilderness. It’s organizations like @keepalaskawild @ourarcticrefuge @khumbuclimbingcenter that inspire me to be better, that #wallsaremeantforclimbing not dividing.
.
Tomorrow is #GlobalClimbingDay and my hope is that this weekend inspires people to find a way to connect with each other outside, at the crag or the climbing gym to unite rather than divide or exclude.

Two weeks into a three climbing trip. It’s been really cool so far. Climbing has to be the most unique sport in that you come across people from all walks of life, you can still be social while being socially distant, I’ve run into several old friends that I haven’t seen in years and met some new friends that I hope to know for a long time. Thanks for this first photo @corndogcowgurl and for a truly spectacular day! @leilasrockcollection

Global Climbing Day is coming up!! August 22- put it on your calendars. While we cannot meet physically in-person this year, the goal of celebrating our community will be the same.
.
Going to the climbing crag, more than any other sport I’ve engaged in, has been a place to meet and converse with people from all over the world. Let’s focus on creating that opportunity for others by working to make climbing and climbing gyms more inclusive. Is there a person or program in your community that is doing good work to make climbing more accessible? Let’s highlight these people/programs over the next couple weeks to amplify our local heroes!!
.
Join the conversation on 8/22 with @thenorthface #wallsaremeantforclimbing
