Many Happy Miles: Ice Climber Kimber Cross

Another Mother Runner

Dimity chases (frozen) waterfalls with Kimber Cross, an ice climber and alpinist who began climbing mountains and ice in her late 20’s. Despite having a limb deficit—she was born without a right hand—Kimber has set records on Mount Rainer/Tahoma and continues to push her limits.

The two talk about:

  • how Kimber’s kindergarten class usually reacts to her hand;
  • her childhood sports pursuits and role models (hello, fastpitch softball!)
  • why trust is such an important element of climbing, and how she builds it;
  • how she trains for her adventures;
  • and her impressive pull-up record (hint: it’s more than 30!).
