Black Diamond présente : Texas Lady Crushers

Our first retreat at Hueco Tanks in March 2020 exhibited the value of professional instruction to both me and the attendees. Due to the pandemic and our growth, I decided to put our free meetups on hold. TxLC began hiring guiding companies in September 2020 as part of its regular programming. Although it limited the number of attendees, it provided top-notch education in a more controlled environment.

Même si j'adore ma ville natale, San Antonio n'avait pas de terrains publics où on pouvait faire de l'escalade à l'époque. Par contre, le coin d'Austin regorgeait de crags de calcaire et d'un magnifique dôme en granit rose pas très loin. J'ai commencé à y aller autant que possible au début de 2017.

En septembre 2017, j'ai reçu un message Facebook inattendu d'une grimpeuse locale. Elle cherchait de l'aide pour un événement d'escalade féminin à Reimers Ranch et j'ai accepté tout de suite.
