You know those people in life who inspire you to do something you've always wanted to do but never felt confidant enough to pursue? Well @liz_daley was my inspiration. She told me to get out on the sharp end of the rope and become a strong trad leader. I spent the next 6 months climbing and leading pitch after pitch, hundreds over the summer and fall months. I called her when I led Sasquatch, or other notable routes, just to let her know. The truth is, I always wanted to become a strong leader, a mountain hardwoman, like she was, I just needed a nudge of confidence to help me see that in myself. Even though we won't get to climb together again, I'll always feel her warmth, her radiating presence, with me giving me that nod of confidence, especially on the #splitterofmydreams that we both loved. I can't describe the stoke I felt at this moment. #livelikeliz Photo: @rob.lea Pass it on and tag a friend who's inspired you in the comments below! I'd love to hear your stories of inspiration!
