Yosemite Women
Hi Steph,
My names Sarah, I live and have been working in the park for almost 4 years now. I am wanting to find some women that can take me out climbing. I have only climbed twice since I’ve been here, both times with men and one experience good, the other not so much. I think I would feel more at ease and comfortable learning to climb with females and was hoping maybe you can send me in the right direction of hooking up with anyone in the area who’s willing to take on a newbie. I have shoe’s and a harness but that’s it.
I work at The Ahwahnee (ugh!) in the winter as a concierge-been doing that for 3 years now and Vogelsang in the summer so I’m pretty knowledgeable about the park and have spent a lot of time exploring the backcountry etc. I’m heading off to New Zealand in a week for about a month but I’m hoping when I get back the weather will open up the chance to get some climbing in. (fingers crossed! As I write we went from 60’s this week, beautiful! Tonight it’s rainy and cold and snow on the way tomorrow, SO over the winter!)
I’d appreciate any guidance you can give me,
Sarah Butler
I’m also on FB.
Hi Sarah,
You must be in New Zealand, and I hope it’s great!
I am not planning to be in the Valley this summer, but I wonder if anyone else is, that you could hook up with….
Ladies?
Send me an email so I can connect you, or leave a comment, or look for Sarah on facebook, if you want some girltime in the valley this season!
🙂 xxSteph
Hi Sarah,
I tried finding you on F.B., but must’ve missed something. There were so many Sarah Butler’s (even in the Yosemite region) that I didn’t know where to start. Thanks to Steph for allowing us to connect via her site. My blog website is listed above, where there’s a link to my F.B. pg. & clinic website. I’ll be in the Valley this June. I’m actually getting married there. I’m from Bend, OR., where I sport climb at “Smith Rock.” I know there’s not a lot of sport climbing in the Valley, but I hear there are a few places. I’d be happy to go out with you to sport climb somewhere in the vicinity in June. Feel free to look me up, and let me know if you’re interested…
