| Description |
Sarah Wolfe (b. 1970) grew up on Navajo Nation reservation with her mother and sisters. Her primary interests were singing and playing musical instruments and creating programming around culture and the arts. She moved to North Carolina after college and eventually became very involved in the climbing community through the North Carolina Chapter of the American Alpine Club, Triangle Rock Gym, and Carolina Climbers Coalition. She moved to Eugene, Oregon, for her now husband to complete his graduate degree. During that time, she created the Oregon Climbs newsletter to connect and inform climbers across the state about climbing-related news, organized the programming for the Smith Rock Craggin' Classic and Wilsonville Festival of Art, and compiled the Oregon reports for American Alpine Club's Accidents in North America. In winter 2019, Sarah moved to Salt Lake City and created the Utah Climbs Newsletter. Sarah works for Trails Utah, a trail advocacy and trail building nonprofit. She continues to compile Accidents in North America reports for Northern Utah, and serves on Glendale Neighborhood Council Board. |
