Championing women in the outdoors

The freedom, if not the desire, to explore the planet has been a long time coming for women. The playing field is a lot more even now than when the first female pioneers of mountaineering and derring-do were on the scene, yet when I am out hiking, in the line-up or on a climbing wall I often find myself in a very male-dominated world. I reckon it’s time we changed that.
