Prairie girl turned mountain climber?

Ok so I’m not out climbing Everest or anything but for this girl who grew up on flatter than flat prairie land I can honestly say sometimes it almost feels like it! Ahh feel the burn! I know you’re laughing at me. I’m laughing at me too.  One day I’ll get used to the ‘steep’ grades […]
