    Howdy Crag Gals! This episode features Juan Luis Toribio Vazquez and Michelle Bloomfield, two climbers changing the narrative for climbing in Jamaica. Join us as we chat with Juan and Michelle about what it means to be a climber in Jamaica, the pros and cons of Jamaica becoming internationally recognized for its limestone crags, and the impacts a developing climbing scene has on its climbers. As mentioned in this episode, Juan has started a Go Fund Me to raise money for the climbing community in Jamaica, and you can find that link here: gofund.me/e3a312b6

    Howdy, y'all!

    So sorry for the delay in getting these episodes out. Carolyn has been super busy with school and it has been super hard to record, edit, and get episodes out to the world. In this episode, Carolyn and Macy have a good laugh at some Reddit stories while also talking about a recently lawsuit regarding Autobelays. Hope you enjoy!
