Gear manufacturers have realised that lots of women like the outdoors and they're different shapes from men. Here's what's out there, and where you can buy it.
Seattle
This is Erica and Josie climbing together. Erica works for Passages Northwest, an organisation I profiled when I was in Seattle, and she sent along this photo to share. Do you have any tips for climbing with kids? Go to the relevant forum topic and contribute to the discussion!
What better way to end off the trip than to do something completely different?! We decided it would be a good idea to spend a couple of days in Los Angeles before flying back to Australia, and it did indeed turn out to be something completely different...
Despite being sad to leave Canada and exhausted from a hectic three weeks of travel, my return to the US was inspiring thanks to the day I spent in Seattle meeting various outdoor people and wandering the streets. The Seattle bus drivers are the friendliest and most helpful I've met so far, and even the famous Seattle drizzle couldn't dampen my spirits.
