No Wasted Days: Flash Foxy

A 2024 Arc’teryx short film about how Flash Foxy is making space for women and genderqueer climbers at the crag.

When they first started climbing, Lou (they/he) and Marian (they/them) didn’t see opportunities for those within the genderqueer community to go into the outdoors. So, they decided to become guides, share their knowledge, and open doors for others to experience the exhilaration of moving freely.

They also plan some climbing festivals along the way ;)
