Slabs are made for me. Maybe they were cut into this fabulous world for me to climb? It’s possible! This past weekend I went to my first of what I hope is many gatherings. Over the past months I have met some of the greatest that Oklahoma’s climbing community holds. From epic climbers, to kind souled rock lovers, and people just like me. We gathered for a weekend of climbing fun at Quartz Mtn this past weekend.

I amazed myself as well as my good friend Michael Morley. I am becoming an honest climber. Sure I still hold flaws, but the light flipped on. It’s like I had been stumbling in the dark for the switch and finally was led to the light. It felt so amazing to get some decent routes under my belt. With solid success under my feet it feels good. The community shared was great. Meeting and making new friends and telling tales with old pals.

It was a weekend of real adventure! Today I find myself smiling with torn paws and dreaming of climbing adventures that will be had.

Girl vs. Wild,
