She is a member of the North Face Climbing Team and travels world-wide to promote rock climbing. She also develops women's climbing clothes. Her video, entitled Free Climb the Nose, was released in the spring of 1997. Climbing is a very good sport for women because it teaches good skills such as problem-solving and boosts self confidence. Attitude and spirit have a lot more to do with climbing than physical strength.
Personal goals are the most important of all.
The Goddesses are a women's rock climbing club. People who think of the stereotypical guy climber will be surprised to find that many women rock climb. The Goddesses are a local chapter of Sheclimbs, which is a national non-profit group. The purpose of these groups is to give women support, build their confidence, and make the stereotypes in rock climbing disappear. The Goddesses were formed in September of 1996 by Kathy Harris and Vicki Schwartz.
