The perfect way to close 2021!! I spent 4 days with an amazing circle of siSTARS for a women's climbing clinic hosted by Simeon Heimowitz and led by Arcelia Garcia and Sue Kligerman, all incredible human beings and masters of their craft. We explored sport climbing in Bernal and Jilotepec, and crack climbing in Aculco. We learned to set and clean top rope anchors, rappel and lead sport routes. With their beautiful smiles and warm hearts, Sue and Arcelia created a safe container for us individually and as a group, empowering us to lead with confidence both on and off the mountain. Simeon, the owner of Southern Xposure is an absolute gem who genuinely cares for each of his clients as well as his community. Beyond anchors, I built relationships that will last a lifetime. I am so very grateful to be sharing the journey with these remarkable humans and look forward to all of the adventures that remain ahead. Shout out to Sim's fur babies Peanut Butter and Squirt. See you soon! Mad gratitude and all the love XO - MB
