New routes, bold trad climbing, and community building with Kristen Fiore.

Send us Fan MailI sat down for a conversation with Kristen Fiore, one of Vermont’s strongest climbers, especially in the realm of bold trad. She’s a prolific route developer and a longtime leader within CRAG‑VT. She’s also a guide, a coach, and the cofounder of Trans Climbers Belong, an advocacy group that has played a major role in shaping the national conversation around trans inclusion in climbing.
