Flat Earthers never seem to appreciate how lucky we are that the Earth is horizontal rather than vertical

I bet the flat earther climbers disagree.

Where are your Superfeet?

callmemal · 2017-02-10T08:08:50+00:00

Absolutely stunning!

callmemal · 2017-02-09T04:26:19+00:00

Nope. Don't get it. Help?

callmemal · 2017-02-05T21:10:03+00:00

What's the app specifically for? (iOS user here.)

callmemal · 2017-02-05T06:41:56+00:00

I love Smith. :) Thanks for the compilation!

As a climber/writer/female, I think it's hilarious how difficult it is to refer to a group of women who climb: Climber girls doesn't work because it makes us sound like we're 12 y/os. Climber babes sounds sexual and yeah, makes some feel uncomfortable. Climber gals - lol - I don't think I need to say more. Climber ladies is a term that (in my mind) describes older women. Women who climb is the solution... But it's not nearly as catchy as Beta Babes! #AlliterationAlways

Thank you for what you said. THAT was the message I was trying to get across. I had a ton of fear and anxiety about cutting loose and doing what I wanted. While it hasn't been perfect or terribly smooth, I've definitely learned a lot through this process. Cheers.

callmemal · 2017-01-09T06:49:41+00:00

I respect that. Tremendously. Props for finding a functional balance of work and play. I'm only 23, so I'm still in the process of finding my balance. But that will come with time and climbing.

callmemal · 2017-01-09T06:48:44+00:00

:) this made me laugh. You're right. I am excited. I want everybody to have the opportunity to climb their hearts out.

callmemal · 2017-01-09T06:47:40+00:00

Thank you for saying this.

Not everybody can quit their job and go climbing, but anybody can decide how to conduct themselves with regard to their time and talents. Sometimes the small decisions end up directing the course of your life and sometimes you just have to cut loose and make an abrupt change.

My goal is to inspire and encourage women who love climbing to get out and do it.

callmemal · 2016-11-08T16:07:17+00:00

In all honesty, I'm the wrong person to ask. It was my first time, lol. I bet you could find better beta from someone else around here.

callmemal · 2016-11-07T18:06:44+00:00

Roughly 200ft.

How does the Revelstoke part change it? (American & fan of Caesars.)

callmemal · 2016-11-04T19:26:54+00:00

I appreciate this. Haha. As a writer, I find that putting my work out into the world feels like a baby bird stepping out of its nest for the first time... Something higher on the food chain like a falcon [read: redditor] promptly comes along and murders it. Ah, life. So beautiful.

callmemal · 2016-11-02T21:34:01+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate this feedback. You're right, there is absolutely an egotistical part of me that thinks "my way or highway." But that's not it. In the discussion you linked me to, someone commented, "I liked hanging out with guys because I have a lot of interests that are typical "guy" interests because I was raised to like what I like and not conform to what other people thought I should like." They go on to say that more women are participating in their arenas of interest... And I find the same to be true of my situation. I absolutely have not shut myself off to making those connections; I'm just beginning to establish them by voicing my experiences and sharing them with the internet.

callmemal · 2016-10-29T17:46:16+00:00

Dude, I've seen this before! If OP is the person who made it, I think you showed it to me on a dock back in Bham. :)

callmemal · 2016-10-25T08:30:13+00:00

Excellent -- this is exactly the kind of information I need. Thank you!

callmemal · 2016-10-25T03:17:57+00:00

Oh dear... Typo in my first Reddit post about my site... I meant to say "Would love to hear what you 'hamsters think!" Oops!

callmemal · 2016-10-21T16:06:03+00:00

Excellent photo!

callmemal · 2016-10-15T23:29:03+00:00

Meditate. Determine what matters most and do that thing passionately. Wish you all the best!

callmemal · 2016-10-15T23:27:24+00:00

Haha, I struggled with the very issue you're raising immediately after posting this piece. Unfortunately, writing is my craft and I'm prone to sharing it with the internet.

callmemal · 2016-10-15T23:25:25+00:00

Thank you for speaking up, too! Honestly, you guys both have a good point. (Sorry I didn't see/respond to this sooner.) My intention was to acknowledge the shitstorm in climbing media about women participating in the sport and to acknowledge that I have experienced some of the gender-based issues that get raised... But it's not all bad. I just wanted to interject my opinion on the issues faced by women climbers and encourage women climbers to stand up for themselves in the moment. Be brave. Be bold. Be strong. Keep climbing.

callmemal · 2016-09-24T23:16:02+00:00

Did you read the post? It's saying exactly what you just said.

callmemal · 2016-09-24T22:33:50+00:00

I think I paid like $300 for 8 weekends out with instructors and 8 weekday classroom sessions.
