We reached our goal. $142.5k raised so that 75 human beings can access the mobility they need to live their lives to the fullest. It was a difficult year for fundraising but everyone pulled through and crushed. The team is made of incredible people, people I look up to, that have mentored me and that I hope will mentor me. Brothers and sisters, all family. I am very grateful to have got the opportunity to not only do this thing with them, but to have climbed that mountain alongside them. And even still, I'm not done. I'm going to keep going. My fundraising page should be live until the end of the year I will continue to figure out how to raise money for the people who need access until then. If you haven't yet, go to the link in my bio and donate $10. That's all it takes to help end immobility for someone for the rest of their life. More to follow. #mobilitycantwait

When a group of people comes together with shared beliefs, a common purpose, and the determination to make a difference, incredible things can happen. This year’s climb was a testament to that. Most of our team reached the summit, and together, we raised over $145,000 in support of ROMP’s mission to improve access to prosthetic care and mobility for those who need it most. But the summit was never the finish line. The impact of this climb extends far beyond the mountain, and our mission continues long after we’ve returned home. To everyone who climbed, donated, supported, and believed in what we’re working toward: thank you. None of this happens without you. The climb may be over, but the work continues. You can support ROMP’s mission and make a difference any day of the year. Visit the link in our bio to donate. Thank you to our team and generous sponsors ❤️ @ospreypacks @obozfootwear @yeti @mountainhardwear @drinklmnt @stio @cumbretours Summits for All and especially to Lori MacInnes Jones Fund Mobility Can’t Wait. Donate through the link in our bio. ———————————— Cuando un grupo de personas se une con las mismas convicciones, un propósito en común y la determinación de marcar la diferencia, pueden suceder cosas increíbles. El ascenso de este año fue una muestra de ello. La mayoría de nuestro equipo llegó a la cima y, juntos, recaudamos más de $145,000 para apoyar la misión de ROMP de mejorar el acceso a la atención protésica y la movilidad para quienes más lo necesitan. Pero la cima nunca fue la meta final. El impacto de este ascenso va mucho más allá de la montaña, y nuestra misión continúa mucho después de haber regresado a casa. A todas las personas que escalaron, donaron, apoyaron y creyeron en lo que estamos construyendo: ¡gracias! Nada de esto sería posible sin ustedes. El ascenso puede haber terminado, pero nuestro trabajo continúa. Puedes apoyar la misión de ROMP y marcar la diferencia cualquier día del año. Visita el enlace en nuestra biografía para donar.

Twenty frames from Cotopaxi. Cotopaxi rises 5,897 meters above the Ecuadorian highlands and is one of the highest active volcanoes on Earth. It was first climbed in 1872 by Wilhelm Reiss and Ángel Escobar, and it has erupted more than fifty times since the 1700s. People have been looking up at this mountain, and living in its beautiful shadow, for a very long time... I came here to climb for @rompglobal. The Range of Motion Project provides prosthetic and orthotic care to people in Ecuador and Guatemala. Mobility is not a small thing. It is access to work, to school, to independence, to the simple act of walking out your own front door. Climbing with that purpose in mind changed how every step felt. We weren’t just climbing for ourselves. The amount of money we were able to raise for free prosthetics still blows my mind. I am grateful to have shared a rope and these last ten days with people who I hadn’t yet met two weeks ago and are friends now. Watching teammates climb a volcano with prosthetic legs, some strapping on crampons for their first time mountaineering, was wicked cool. Thank you to @tinomartirano, @bri.daniels_, and @plp_mcafee for leading the team this year as captains with steadiness, patience, and care. To our @cumbretours guides, thank you. Your skill kept the crew safe, your kindness kept us steady, and your enthusiasm never dipped, even at 3am on a cold glacier. Learning how you show up for ROMP every year, and that commitment, says a lot about who you are. I felt strong up there standing at 19,347ft - a personal new high point. Thin air has a way of telling you the truth about your preparation, and this time the answer was good. I don’t take that for granted. Standing on the summit was peaceful. A wide quiet and the sense that I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Many hugs and a few solid moments of tears with a teammate or two solidified this experience for me. Thank you to @mountainhardwear for your continued support for ROMP climbs. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of that support this year as it is being an athlete on your team. #SeekWilderPaths always. #Cotopaxi #ROMP #Ecuador #AdaptiveAthletes

SUMMIT! Cotopaxi – 5,897 m / 19,347 ft Our Climbing for ROMP team reached the summit of Cotopaxi! After days of preparation and acclimatization, the team reached its objective. This climb was about more than a summit. The Range of Motion Project (ROMP) is an international nonprofit that provides high-quality prosthetic care and follow-up services to amputees who would otherwise not have access to it. Every step of this climb helps raise funds and awareness for equitable access to prosthetic care. A huge thank you to our amazing team of guides. Your expertise, care and dedication on the mountain made this summit possible. 🙌 Thank you for the videos and photos Reynaldo, Pablo F, Pablo S, Juan, Chiqui. 📸🎥 Congratulations to every climber and team member, you are truly inspiring and strong 💪🏻 . Thank you to the ROMP community @rompglobal @rompecuador for your trust for one more year. No summit is too high: mobility for all. 💪 #mobilityforall #climbing4romp #whatsyourmountain #Cotopaxi #Ecuador

We’re incredibly excited to be part of Climbing for ROMP for another year, a project that brings mountaineering together with a very special mission: promoting mobility and access to prosthetic care. The Range of Motion Project (ROMP) @rompglobal is an international nonprofit organization that provides high-quality prosthetic care and follow-up services to amputees who do not have access to this type of care. ROMP believes that with the right technology, the right equipment, and the right mindset, no summit is too high. We climb to show the power of mobility and the importance of equitable access to prosthetic care. This year, our team’s goal is to summit Cotopaxi and, together with the global ROMP community, raise funds to help provide prosthetic care to ROMP patients. As part of this preparation, the team climbed Rumiñahui (4,721 m / 15,489 ft), an important acclimatization and training step on the way to the big goal: Cotopaxi. Congratulations to the inspiring team, so strong! Also a big thank you to our wonderful guides for the hard work and photos! The goal goes far beyond a summit: mobility for all. Good luck in Cotopaxi 🏔️ #rompglobal #climbing4romp #whatsyourmountain #ecuador #cotopaxi

it’s been about a year since I printed my first pieces in this new driveway, experienced the joy have having access to my first utility sink (life changing!!), and realized that for the first time in seven years I wasn’t going to have to leave WA at the end of the summer. the past year of patching art work together through grants, contract work, commissions and sales hasn’t been easy, but I’m so grateful for all of the adventures I’ve had along the way, and the people (and seals) who made it so much better 💫 here’s to hoping this next year is a little smoother, and gentler for us all 💞 thanks for being here and supporting this little dream!

40 used to be celebrated as “over the hill” and “rip to your youth” and as I start this new decade I’m grateful to feel different about aging. Sure, if a full life is about 80 I’m halfway done, but what a beautiful thought to think about all that there still is to dream about and pursue. Strength, wisdom, & humility can continue to be forged. New ambitions, new careers, new climbs, new places to visit, and new people to grow with will be experienced. This 39th year held so much joy in the mountains with others. In fact, this entire past decade truly was marked by beautiful alpine views & really incredible friendships formed by climbing and adventuring outside. Just looking through the memory bank of photos the last three hundred and sixty five days alone (would need a carousel with a hundred photos to display each person dear to my heart I’ve been out in the mountains with in the last ten years) and truly feeling thankful for every person I tied into a rope with or skied a line with because you get to be raw with others in this environments in a unique way. I carry those friendships into this new decade loading and say thank you for the community I’m in. For each has been like an iron sharpening iron friendship. That’s the best kind.

Lundin Peak was the last climb l led for the @mountaineersorg this summer. Enjoyed seeing basic students get their graduating climbs for the course & this was a new to me peak, which makes it extra fun. Summer out here in Washington means a lot of leading trips in the mountains and mentoring new climb leaders. It’s been really enjoyable supporting others gaining new skills in mountaineering and rock climbing. The season is already changing here and I’m honestly ready for the skis and ice tools to come out. One month until I head south to climb Cotopaxi and I’m thinking it’s a great way to end one season and start another. #washington #mountaineering #climbing #pnw #snoqualmiepass

Its crazy to think there was a time when @kimberbelle did everything she could to hide her hand. Today, she trusts it with her life in the mountains as a professional rock climber in alpinist! Kimber didn’t start climbing until she was nearly 30. Since then, she’s learned to climb rock, ice and big alpine objectives with one hand, adapting systems and gear along the way and earning her place on some pretty wild terrain. Now she’s a professional adaptive athlete with @mountainhardwear, pushing into the Alaska alpine and chasing objectives that haven’t been done before. Whether you are a peak bagger or love a good story about someone challenging stereotypes, I promise you that you will love my conversation with Kimber!
