Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
— T. S. Eliot
As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we’ll all be better off for it.

You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.
— Rene Daumal
The Park and Camp Bird has always been an inspirational place to climb and train for the bigger ranges. The folks (organizers and farmers) are so awesome with their commitment to the Park and Community.
No quote. Just another loving meber of the Ouray Ice Park Ambassador Program <3

A deep curiosity takes me where I want to go, even if I don’t know in advance where that is.
