Amy Skinner on Las Vegas Climbing in the '80s and the Importance of Great Female Partners

from Written in Stone: Climbing History · host Plug Tone Audio

Check out our new book, Written In Stone: The 1990s! Today I sit down with my good friend Amy Skinner - who, in the early '80s in Las Vegas, sort of stumbled into the scene that would eventually be called sport climbing. We discuss that movement, where she first encountered other female climbers, who her favorite female climbing partners have been, and more.  Like many of the women who have been mentioned in this series, Amy is still involved in the climbing community, but has also become a pillar in her greater community. A business owner, an advocate, a supporter, and a friend.  Check out our website for related episodes, resources and more!
