A Millennial's Guide to Saving the World #45 Life, Death and Climbing with Madaleine Sorkin and Henna Taylor
Henna and Madaleine are the founders of The Climbing Grief Fund, created to evolve the conversation around grief and trauma in the climbing, alpinism and ski mountaineering community and connect individuals to effective mental health professionals and resources. Our conversation touches on the nuanced and complex nature of this project in particular and broadens the discussion to include our thoughts on the duality of life/death, grief/love and loss/gratitude.
