I clearly remember the [...]

Not Happy Jam
I don’t often comment publicly on negative comments or destructive actions of others, whether they are directed at me or not. I’m a big girl. I know precisely what I have achieved with my climbing over the years. I set my own goals and climb because I love it. I don’t allow myself to get [...]
