“I think getting married and someday having a kid are the scariest things in the world. I’m absolutely terrified.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀@galestraub from @she_explores: “It’s funny to hear you say that because you’re planning on attempting a summit of Everest this year.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Me: “Right? That’s like a month long, it has an end date and marriage and children, that’s such a long commitment and it’s very difficult to reverse. It brings out a lot of my own personal challenges for sure…Relationships are a really hard thing. I think it’s good to have a healthy level of respect for the kind of challenge that commitment represents.” Listen to the rest of my podcast interview with @she_explores via the link below or in my profile! https://she-explores.com/podcast/trust-timing-ski-mountaineer-caroline-gleich/

“Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”-MLK Jr. Photo: @mikumerikanto In all honesty, I had my quote and photo all queued up ready to post first thing this morning. Then, I read several insta stories from POC I follow asking for white people to do something beyond sharing a quote. The past two years have been eye opening as I’ve become more aware of the racism that exists in our country and in the world. To celebrate MLK Jr. day, I made a donation to @outdoorafro to support the organization’s leadership in making the outdoors more inclusive.

Who’s going to watch the Super Blood Wolf Moon tonight? My fiancé, @rob.lea and I met on the night of a lunar eclipse in October 2014, and lunar eclipses have always held a special place in my heart. I met Rob shortly after my friend @liz_daley was killed in an avalanche. The spring before she died, she and I watched a breath-taking lunar eclipse on a glacier while snow camping and shredding in Alaska for two weeks. When I look up at a full moon, I always feel connected to those I’ve loved, whether they are with me physically or in spirit. I hope the clouds clear up enough for us to catch a glimpse of tonight’s rare lunar event!

Today, we removed a half ton (580 lbs) of trash in one hour at @KEEN ambassador summit day two. I’m grateful to be an ambassador for a brand that puts their values into action and cares for people and the environment. #BetterTakesAction #KEENambassador With @meg_haywoodsullivan and @theoregondesert

I’ve been working hard on my 2019 plans, and I’m excited (and terrified) to announce I’ll be taking my skis back to the Himalayas. To Everest/Chomolungma/Sagarmatha, to summit and then ski the North Col. Between that and planning a wedding, I’m going a little crazy. It’s a lot. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to pull it off. But I’ve learned we have deeper reserves than we think, and sometimes it’s good to bite off more than you can chew. #bigmountaindreams @keen @clifbar @patagonia_snow
