“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery— air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘this is what it is to be happy’” -Sylvia Plath She Rocks member Catalina, pictured at Smith Rock and the Exits. What joy are you chasing this weekend?! (I know Sylvia Plath is a weird quote to pick for joy... but hot damn am I tired of John Muir quotes. Women adventure too. Women write about the outdoors. Let’s more women’s words as the go-to quotes!!! Who is your favorite outdoor writer? I love @charlotteaustin - posted by Alexis) #sherocks #shewrites #sheclimbs #heyflashfoxy #womenwhoclimb #womenwhowrite #friyay #weekend #smithrocks #exit38 #northbend #pnw #womenofthepnw
Thanks for sharing these honest words @tradprincess #Repost @tradprincess ・・・ @onechicktravels recently posted something that hit me square in the gut. She said she's lost her climbing stoke. She went from climbing strong and feeling good to being scared shitless on top rope. I'VE FELT THE EXACT SAME WAY. A few years ago I was feeling like a generally solid 5.11 trad leader. Then one trip... I lost it. Nothing happened. No accident. No trauma. I was just... scared. Where I hadn't been scared before. I went from feeling like a confident leader to having inner panic attacks even on top rope. The more I climbed the worse it got. The more I tried to make it go away ..the worse it got. I had to stop leading. I honestly almost quit climbing. I knew I had to change something drastically when on one Thanksgiving I crawled into a hueco (on top rope) and couldn't bring myself to come out. I was paralyzed by fear. It was fucking embarrassing. For anyone going through this. You are definitely not alone. You can try reading rock warriors way and take advice from friends. For me personally nothing worked until I started over. I completely started my climbing career over. I went back to leading beginner routes, I learned to fall again, I invested more time into learning self rescue, I made climbing low commitment aka fucking fun again, I also changed up my climbing partners... I sought out more women to climb with, I stopped beating myself into the ground mentally because I wasn't where I thought I should be, I had to learn to be KIND to myself and not say something about myself that I wouldn't let a friend say about themselves, I set small attainable goals and actually celebrated them, I also learned to channel my artistic side into climbing which gave me another outlet if I wasn't 'feeling' it, most importantly I found an amazing female mentor that I'd send stupidly honest messages to. Thank you @mtnmia for being so damn supportive. Going through that experience actually made me a better partner, leader, and teacher. It also made me LOVE guiding rock climbing because I have so many honest conversations with guests that come to me with fear. I want to help
Heyo it’s toasty in the gym but we are still crushing it!
Calling all crushers! Come hang out with @guns_n_daisies (Alexis) at @sgseattle this Thursday from 6-8.
@guns_n_daisies here- the last time I climbed in Squamish was almost two years ago for my birthday. How is that possible?! Excited to head up with a few awesome ladies this upcoming weekend and see what we can do. What are you doing with your crew this weekend? 📸 @cjpawell and me topping out on Star Chek and @ktlawls showing how’s it done on some boulders I forget the name of because it was 2 years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ • • • #sheadventures #outdoorwomen #sheexplores #mountaingirls #sheroams #exploremore #projectexplore #getoutthere #sherocks #heyflashfoxy #climbsquamish #ladysquad #flashback #sportclimb #womenwhoclimb #womenwhocrush
It was a beautiful weekend out in Mazama! Here’s Mindy warming up at Nugget Wall, cruising up the wall between conversations about love, life, cooking, art.... sometimes climbing is life, sometimes it’s important to remember life can be a lot of things. What did you get up to this weekend? #sherocks #womenwhoclimb #newfriends #mazama #heyflashfoxy
Is anyone planning to come to @sgseattle tonight? Our host @guns_n_daisies is in a boot- she’ll be there happy to belay! Should be pretty easy to spot her, what with the boot and all the purple. There is also another climber in a boot at Stone Gardens lately- watch those ankles ladies!!! See you tonight :)
Rain rain, let us play. But thank you for all the greenery you bring! We know it’s a bummer that the sun of last week has been replaced with rain—- but it’s super dry out there and rain now may help keep things less smoky later this summer. Jodie playing in a chimney out at Index last weekend. Sundappled and mossy. It was a beautiful place to escape the heat! What are you doing over this upcoming rainy weekend?
Guess who finally adjusted her helmet so it fits straight instead of slightly askew (but still on/secure/safe)? Our @sgseattle host @guns_n_daisies ! Sometimes climbing success means big sends and hard problems. Sometimes it’s one more move than you thought you would make. Sometimes it’s a lot of failure with great people and laughter. Did you have fun and come home? Goal accomplished.
Years ago @guns_n_daisies went to Laos with @ktenneson and she’s getting the tufa climbing itch again. Here’s Karis making it look easy. What fun trips have you done with your climbing partners? #climblikeagirl#heyflashfoxy #adventure #womenwhoclimb #laos #greenclimbershome
After work dusting off the rust at We Did Rock. Beautiful night to run up some bolts. Where are your early season sessions happening? :) #womenwhoclimb #exits #pnw #girlswhoclimb #girlcrew #pnwonderland #heyflashfoxy #afterworksession #outdoorwomen
