Hi, my name is McKay! Welcome to the Sustainable Climber Podcast, a one of a kind open mic podcast where I and hopefully others will speak our written word, including poetry, music and short essays about a sustainable future on planet earth; all from the lenses of climbers and other wilderness dwellers alike. I found my passion for preserving and protecting the earth's wildness from escaping into the vertical wilderness through rock climbing.

Since being re-introduced to climbing as a 21 year old I've found that my desire to be an environmental advocate has grown simultaneously with my desire to climb. This desire has lead me to use my voice in various ways to make a real difference in the trajectory of our future as human beings and climbers on our beautiful home; planet earth. One of those ways is this podcast which I hope will be a place I can share my thoughts, feelings and anxieties about all this stuff.

Like I said at the beginning, this is an open mic podcast. Think of it as an actual open mic night at your favorite coffee shop. Please share your thoughts, feelings and anxieties with me in whatever art form you'd like and I will share them on the podcast as if you were here with me, standing up at the mic, letting your voice be heard.
