Katie Mayo's Climbing Gear & Expert Recommendations
AMGA Single Pitch Instructor
Bishop, CAStoke is my strength
I love standing on top of things. But my love for climbing goes beyond the simple physical act. Climbing has been foundational in getting to know myself, others, and the earth. It's a way I connect with my values and build relationships.
Discipline: Climbing
Specialty: Getting on top of things, frolicking, being more than just "strong for a girl/woman", attributing spiritual meaning to summits
Bugaboo Spire via NE Ridge... a multi-year goal! Sun Ribbon Arete, day after getting dumped :/ Seven Spanish Angels - huge mental battle for me at the time
