Sends and Suffers fam, allow me to introduce you to Marina Inoue. This tiny, tattooed, 5’2 stick of dynamite entered the climbing game “late”, picking up the sport at 26. But that hasn’t stopped this powerhouse from putting down some seriously impressive sends like Tomb Raider (5.13d) and Dark Age (V11). Marina has spent the last decade immersing herself in the outdoors, living on the road out of her van and setting her own schedule as a tattoo artist. In this episode Marina and I deep dive into topics like getting into your flow state, coming to terms with body image and body limitations, and the complexity of navigating the “good ol’ boys club” as a minority in male-dominated industries. Marina is one to watch — an ungovernable force indeed. Enjoy, y’all.

CATALYST: A GRANT FOR CHANGE
This is a great opportunity for those of you that know me personally I don't BS about opportunities that come your way. We are all trying to change the world to make it a better place but my friend help you make it so.
We love climbing, that’s obvious. When something brings us so much joy and color to life, it’s natural to want to ensure it’s available to everyone who wishes to experience the same joy.
The American Alpine Club (AAC) is committed to helping the climbing community become universally accessible to everyone. Introducing Catalyst: Adventure Grants for Change. This grant will provide BIPOC, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with both seen and unseen disabilities the funds to help them overcome barriers, adapt to disabilities, and reach ambitious climbing goals. The Catalyst Grant will award over $20,000 to individuals and teams who face barriers in accessing the climbing community and identify with an underrepresented group.
While the AAC has always encouraged all people to apply for our grants, we recognize that underrepresented groups traditionally face more barriers in accessing the climbing community. The goal of the Catalyst Grant is to break down these barriers and ensure that these groups have access to resources that will help them pursue their climbing goals.
This grant supports all climbing disciplines including bouldering, sport climbing, trad, alpine, mountain running, ski mountaineering, peak bagging, or any other climbing endeavor.
The AAC has the resources and the reach to help remove barriers to all forms of climbing for teams across the country. By celebrating our differences while also exploring our common interests, we broaden our perspectives, strengthen our relationships, and grow our entire climbing community.

Meet Daniel, Kiera, and Nelson, three “dirt-baggers” living life full-time on the road. For these guys, home is a vehicle parked under wide-open skies… currently, in Moab, Utah. This, my friends, is van life.
We’ll give you the dirty truth on what it’s truly like to leave the creature comforts of home behind to pursue the mobile dream of living in the back of a van. Whether you’re riding in a spacious new sprinter van or out of the back of your old Subaru, there are endless ways to trick out your space for a life on the road. One thing we all agreed on — it’s the little improvements that make your mobile crash pad feel like home. For me, it was a mini-refrigerator. For Kiera, it’s a waffle maker… we all have our thing.
Just a couple of dirt-bags enjoying whiskey under the stars. Join in as we talk van living, ego conquering, and having reverence for all the brave souls stepping up to the plate to be out in the places they love doing the things they love, regardless of skill or what grade they climb. Our biggest takeaway? Get out there. Why?
“Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.” -Jack Kerouac
Get out there, y'all. Whether it’s a day trip, a weekend away, or the full-on commitment to dirt-bagging it out of the back of your car. Doing what you love is a privilege, and these outdoor spaces are for you. Hope you enjoy this episode of Sends & Suffers.
