Inquiring minds want to know.
A few weeks ago, my friend Peter raised a question about the strange questions people type into search engines that result in traffic to websites, and that lead me and another friend, Steph to actually open up our logs. It makes me giggle on the rar...
A climbergirl on skis
For those of you who know how I've always felt about skiing -- terrified of the sport, and pretty sure that if I ever strapped skis to my feet I'd wind up perilously injured -- this might come as a surprise. For those of you who previously didn't kn...
The re-entry...
I'm home! I got into Seattle after the long trip home from Kathmandu a couple of days ago, for some time with my parents and sister, then came home to Kitsap yesterday. Everyone's anxious for the trip report, but that has three complications: I ha...
A short list of thank you's
I'm just about to hit "publish post" on a little photo trip report from this weekend, but I'm multitasking tonight. Specifically, I'm washing dishes, unpacking from my last trip, doing laundry, packing for my next trip, recovering from getting my fi...

My Climbing Life, a climbing-light installment
It's been a funny week. I've been alternating between the highs of meeting fantastic folks in the climbing community and outdoor biz since I've been actively trying to get out of my shell and build those relationships, and the lows of discouraging o...
Adventures in Climbing Cross Training: Mountain Biking
Wowsa. It's been a long time since I did a "not climbing" post... but I guess now's as good a time as any. I also need to do an "in the gym" update... but will try to get to that later this week. Maybe this is all a way of managing my sadness that...
Testing, one, two, three...
Folks - the blog's going to be in a state of flux for awhile. I happened to check it from a very rare opportunity to sit down at a PC and my template wasn't displaying the actual blog content. Sigh. I wonder how long folks on PCs using Firefox hav...
What's new in the world...
Gosh, I wish I could do these weekly, but I just don't have that kind of discipline. Here's a quick "what's been going on lately" in the world of climbing and life (so, slightly less climbing related than usual) from my little vantage point...Climbi...
Mea culpa.
So, my work and life schedules have conspired against maintaining close contact with the vast majority of my dearly loved friends... if anything, that's probably going to be even worse for awhile here during a short term employment shift (a great one...
Best question gets a free t-shirt...
OK, folks... As you know, I like to mix it up here at Rockclimbergirl.com. Usually, you can tell I'm home sick with a cold because the blog gets a facelift. But, a girl can only do so many redesigns, and I'm not feeling like messing with XML or Pho...
Climbing Movies, aka Stuff to Watch: Dosage V (and, stuff to mute: the Australia Project)
I'm all for climbers making movies. On rest days, there's very little I'd rather do than pop in a climbing video and feel my hands sweat. I've found music full of extra send-o's by watching climbing movies... and watching people take whippers on ge...
How do you handle the winter blahs?
Usually, I'm the one giving advice, but it dawned on me... a whole lot of smart people, who have been "in it" much longer than I have read this blog. Now it's your turn to chime in.How do you handle the off-season blahs?This fall has been very mild,...
Twitter 101 for us outdoorsy types
follow theclimbergirl at http://twitter.comSo, for some time, my climbing friends have teased me about my twittering... when I pick up my Blackberry, my climbing partner says "tweet tweet!"... One of my Twitter friends, @benwills, who I hadn't met be...
Vote today.
Unless you're living in a hole somewhere, you already know that today is election day here in the U.S. Get out and vote, today, if you haven't already. I'm having a hard time focusing on work; election news is so distracting (even without a televis...
Nothing exciting... and it's an election year if you hadn't heard...
So, it hasn't been a very rock climbing month so far. I've been getting into the gym fairly regularly, and have been training pretty hard when I do... but then I think last week I hit a recovery wall. My hands were getting chronically sore... one n...
RockClimberGirl.com Tidbits
So, it's a relatively low-volume climbing week... I'm hoping to hit the gym Wednesday for a lead session, and then probably again this weekend for a day to get some laps in and hopefully do a bit of routesetting. I'm not likely to get outside, given...
Do you have what it takes to live and thrive in one of nature’s most brutal environments?
I get some strange emails through this blog, but this one made me actually click through. Wanna participate in a casting call for the Discovery Channel's "Alaskan Adventurer" series? Apparently, the show "raises the bar" for adventurers by sending ...
a wee bit of housekeeping
I'm going to experiment with a new commenting system...Keep up the comments on old posts... those will continue to have the old blogger comments so that I don't lose your precious wisdom on those old posts. I just did a test comment on this post wit...
The fashion industry hates us.
Boys - you can just stop reading, this one isn't going to interest you in the slightest.I've had a busy, less-climbing-than-I'd-like few weeks. The last two weeks, I've spent Thursday, Friday *and* Saturday in training ... learning conflict manageme...
Non sequitur
Since life and the weather gods are conspiring against me, this will be a non-climbing post, to echo my presently non-climbing life (short lived -- meeting the girls at the gym on Wednesday, but getting outside this weekend is looking not promising)....
The Anti-Blawgs: Not enough law-related content for the ABA
I'm a lawyer, and a blogger. So, having seen a blurb somewhere about the ABA Journal Blawg Directory, I thought I'd see if there was a category into which RockClimberGirl.com may fit. Work/life balance... maybe. My efforts to balance work and life...
Quick hits, girls go shopping, and Majka Burhardt is coming to Seattle
Here are some quick hits from the week...The Access Fund needs your help to protect climbing around Idaho's highest peaks.Avon, UK climbers are also facing a closure.Katie Brown is back from spring break.Finally, I met my fantastic and talented littl...
Sara's Grateful List for Saturday
Not to be a total sycophant, but there are two Wasatch Girl-themed posts for today... Wasatch Girl's Crag Baby blog occasionally features a grateful list accompanied by a nice, zen picture. Here's my first grateful list, accompanied by one of my fa...
Dogs, dogs, and more dogs
First, there was Maynard. He's not, from what we know, a RockClimberDog just yet, but he is awfully cute and lives an outdoor life among outdoorsy folks in Jackson Hole.Then, Hana, my labrador, joined the party since she was feeling left out.I was f...
Bleeding out
Chris and I have been in entirely separate orbits for the last few weeks... both very busy with our various work obligations, and my long list of community obligations, and add on top of that climbing in the gym together and with other partners, plus...
Uncoolness
So, I am really thrilled that people are discovering and reading and participating with this blog. Partly, because it's just plain fun and I'd do it even if nobody ever read it; I just love writing, and I love climbing, and this gives me a creative ...
