Monserrat Matehuala on What Climbing is to Her

Where Monserrat Matehuala was born, there are no mountains. She found them through climbing.

Since then, she’s learned the largest walls she and her community face are not made of rock, but those society has put up.

Walls are meant for climbing. Join The North Face in celebrating the walls that unite us, not divide us on August 18 for Global Climbing day here.

Matehuala runs the Instagram page Brown Girls Climb, which you can to and follow below.

Shasta last month, this was a great redemption trip for us and a supportive trip for our friend who had never summited a mountain before. Mt. Adams is typically done in two days, but we opted to just go for it and push for one day. We fought through the fatigue and made it to the top! ❤️”
