Just hang on!! The holidays are gnarly as a Yosemite V4 but just like Yos climbs, worth it for the memories. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!

Beyond grateful for the ability to capture these happy moments and to be able to reflect on them years later. This was my first big climb. A relatively easy trad multipitch in Yosemite that gave me the confidence as a new climber (so new I didn’t even have my own PA). It was a perfect day with @benny_haddad and its one of my favorite memories. Even though I did the walk down in my climbing shoes 😣 —————————————— #womenwhoclimb #girlswhoclimb #socalclimbing #wildwomen #getoutsideandclimb #dirtbarbie #sheclimbs #climblikeagirl #outdoorfitness #climbingphotography #climbing_worldwide #climbing_photos_of_instagram #ladycrushers #natureaddicts #socaladventures #yosemitenationalpark #girlswhoadventure #climbingrocks #outdoorfitness #momswhoclimb #fbfriday #leadclimbing #tradisrad #yosemiteclimbing #goclimbarock (at Yosemite National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqP44zxhq9e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dwfin8orrcop

I was always under the impression that when I became a mother that I’d be transformed in to a “MOM”. AKA a woman that can handle a grumpy baby, be a good wife, take care of dirty dishes and a full time job all without breaking a sweat. It’s only after the last year that I’ve realized that’s a unrealistic expectation. The pressure to be all the things your family needs can sometimes be overwhelming and that’s when I turn to nature and of course, to climbing. It has literally saved my life and made me a better person. I was recently asked by @mumsgoneclimbing to be part of an incredible project that highlights the adventure of being a mother in the sport and I can’t even express how relieved I was to see I’m part of a worldwide community of strong determined mothers. We got this ladies!! 🙌🏻 Cheers to the mothers raising the next generation of crushers.

Partnerships. We all know that climbing requires a partner - minus those crazy free solo people. So does marriage!! While climbing is an intensely personal sport, there’s always a partner at the base, who’s got your back. To us, marriage is the same. We are each our own individual people with our own goals and experiences, but we can work harder towards those goals knowing we have a partner. An anchor to home. Thanks for being my home and always having my back @benny_haddad, even when I come to you with crazy ideas! —————————————— #womenwhoclimb #girlswhoclimb #socalclimbing #wildwomen #getoutsideandclimb #dirtbarbie #sheclimbs #climblikeagirl #sportclimbing #outdoorfitness #climbingphotography #climbing_worldwide #climbing_photos_of_instagram #ladycrushers #natureaddicts #socaladventures #jtree #fbf #girlswhoadventure #climbingrocks #outdoorfitness #socalsummer #momswhoclimb #fbfriday #tradclimbing #tradisrad #leadclimbing (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpZxpSAHK-d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gwili69sprqy

So happy the weather is cooling off and we get can back to some of our favorite local spots. @lillyagar and I have a new project out in #alabamahills and I know we’re going to crush it next time ✌🏻 Alabama Hills - The Candy Store @lillyagar on the sharp end @benny_haddad behind the lens @blairelspeth on belay ——————————— #womenwhoclimb #girlswhoclimb #socalclimbing #wildwomen #getoutsideandclimb #dirtbarbie #sheclimbs #climblikeagirl #sportclimbing #outdoorfitness #climbingphotography #climbing_worldwide #climbing_photos_of_instagram #ladycrushers #natureaddicts #socaladventures #lonepine #alabamahillsclimbing #girlswhoadventure #climbingrocks #outdoorfitness #socalsummer #momswhoclimb #sportclimbing #leadclimbing (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BorSrfwDN1P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ho0g8spc0nwd

Taking falls on lead can be terrifying. Right before I got pregnant with #littlesunrise, I took a big unexpected fall on The Bong in #jtree and hadn’t fallen since that day. It created so much extra anxiety while leading that it has kept me from trying routes I deemed too hard. I regret not pushing past my comfort level back then but I’ve rediscovered my determination and strength. And @benny_haddad would probably add stubbornness 😂 @lillyagar on belay @benny_haddad behind the 📷 —————————————— #womenwhoclimb #girlswhoclimb #socalclimbing #wildwomen #getoutsideandclimb #dirtbarbie #sheclimbs #climblikeagirl #sportclimbing #outdoorfitness #climbingphotography #climbing_worldwide #climbing_photos_of_instagram #ladycrushers #natureaddicts #socaladventures #lonepine #alabamahillsclimbing #girlswhoadventure #climbingrocks #outdoorfitness #socalfall #momswhoclimb #sportclimbing #leadclimbing (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoelW50jMor/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b36zivb3dp0
