About this listen

In this episode of Women in Wild Places, I talk with alpinist and adaptive athlete Kimber Cross—a kindergarten teacher turned ice climber who built her own prosthetic tool and is now taking on major alpine routes like the Moose’s Tooth.

We get into her journey from hiding her limb difference to becoming her own representation, the story behind her ice tool prosthetic, unconscious bias in adaptive sport, and how she balances teaching, training, and big mountain goals with her mantra: can’t → will → did.
