Meg is walking around in the Badlands of South Dakota, the land of the Oglala Lakota Tribe, so it’s me, Alex, gracing you with an intro this week! In episode 105 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, Meg explores how rural communities can build more inclusive outdoor spaces. To do this, she sat down to chat with Kristen Neithercut, cofounder of the Montana-based nonprofit the female climbers collective. Kristen and the rest of the board members are on a mission to help create more inclusive outdoor spaces! They believe that people should be able to show up in outdoor spaces exactly as they are, no labels, no BS, no faking. We create a space and a platform for authentic connection and community around rock climbing.
