Perspective: Robbi Mecus

from Alpinist · host Alpinist Magazine

"Perspective is a curious lens," climber and forest ranger Robbi Mecus says. "If I never turn my gaze to the side, my interpretation of the world becomes static, unempathetic. Changing my vantage point brings me a fuller understanding. It brings me compassion. My life has been a constant shifting of perspective." In the first part of this episode, Mecus talks about some of her earliest climbing memories and her work in search and rescue. In the second part of the episode, Mecus reads from her Alpinist 65 essay "Perspective," in which she reflects on how coming out as transgender has shifted her lens on climbing.
