BOUNDING OVER TUMBLED
rocks, I scampered along the
newly minted trail. With sunset
approaching, I needed to crank
through a few more miles to meet
my training goal for the day. I
ran-until I heard it: the desperate
baying of hounds close by. I
stopped dead in my tracks. What
were they hunting? Bear season
had just closed, and there were
two more weeks until elk season
opened. Were they tracking me?
My hand went instinctively to
check the bear spray and fixed
blade on my running pack. Everything
would be okay. Breathe,
deeply. Count to 10. I turned
around on the trail to cut short my
run, and the hunting dogs' baying
subsided. With seven miles in the
bank for the day, I drove home,
and started thinking.
There are many very real hurdles
that women, BIPOC, and adaptive
recreationists face in getting
outside. Economics and access to
trails or gear are just the beginning.
What about the psychological
and physical barriers that impede
others like me from lacing up their
shoes or packing up the weekend
adventure vehicle?
When freedom of movement
means something different-as
people in BIPOC, adaptive, and
women's bodies know all too
well-there must be products and
services that directly support the
psychological and physical barriers
to getting outside.

knows this all too well:
After founder Jalen Bazel passed
the torch to Zaia last year, she
quickly focused work on creating
an intersectional space for
underrepresented folks in the
climbing community. And as the
Front Range-based organization
has grown to empower climbers,
she's owning her own journey as
a leader. " We aren't here to tell
people what they need, " says Zaia.
" Instead, we create a container
