Climbing & Conservation!

I was one of eleven students on the HMI Climbing & Conservation semester in Colorado, Utah, and Patagonia, and I am so happy I chose to spend my fall travel in and climbing with such an incredible group. HMI allowed students of all levels to learn and grow, while still pushing us and allowing me to try lots of new things.
Some of my favorite things about the course were my incredible instructors who supported and pushed me throughout the course while still having tons of fun together, the world class climbing areas we got to visit such as Indian Creek and towers in Moab, and the environmental studies curriculum that combined with our service work to allow me to truly think critically about conservation and the environment. I learned a lot from HMI Gap, and would highly recommend the climbing semester to those interested in growing as a climber, and environmentalist, and as a person.
