Hi everyone – sorry late to the party because happily I was out, the end of last week ice climbing in Vermont! I’m Emily a British expat living in NYC, where I’ve been for the last 4 years! I’m a single mom and have an awesome fifteen year old boy who used to be into the mountains but is less so for the moment.
I have done previous Uphill Athlete programs and really loved them. They helped me prep for an amazing trip I undertook alone to Chamonix about 5 years ago before I moved from Dubai to New York City. At that time I was a tiny, muscly endurance mountain biker, trail runner and cross country triathlete with a passion for climbing and mountaineering. When I moved here for various reasons, one being the city location of course, I struggled to maintain my fitness and indeed was just about to get back on it and COVID struck. Happily in the summer I met my partner who is a fairly legendary climber in the northeast (he would be so embarrassed that I said that) and since that time I got back my mojo and we climb a load. Live a healthy life etc. I am planning a trip to Chamonix again in April, alone, to go get back that feeling and nothing major, just do the Cosmiques again in style and potentially some other moderate alpine goals!
Emily Fitzgerald
