This post from @thirteenhundred is a good reminder

This post from @thirteenhundred is a good reminder that it doesn’t matter where you start or how good you are - it matters how climbing makes you feel! If you’re having fun, that’s all that matters. 🧗🏽‍♀️

“Here is an example of a conversation I have with myself in my head while at the climbing gym:

Me 2 me: why are you recording this? You are so embarrassing. Nobody cares. It’s a VB route. Anybody could do this.

Also me: I care! I care deeply. It doesn’t matter if anybody can do it, because honestly not everybody even tries! And I know I will appreciate being able to see how far I’ve come a year from now.

I’m not trying to pass myself off as an elite climber. Video evidence certainly proves otherwise lol. But I like doing it and I like watching myself do it. It helps give that little dopamine/serotonin boost that I so desperately need these days.

I know I’m gonna look back on this and feel proud of myself ✨ and that’s what matters ✨

Check out the story of Climb Big founder @samortizphoto up on @mountainhardwear ‘s website now!

Last September Sam had the opportunity to go on a trip with Mountain Hardwear and participate in a climbing photography workshop.

However, this photography workshop was distinctly different than anything that had been done before - all attendees were invited because of their work on initiatives that uplift underrepresented identities in the climbing industry. (Like Climb Big!)

You can visit @mountainhardwear ‘s web page and look for “Open Aperture Photo Clinic” to learn more about us, this project, and the initiatives we’re working toward.
