I loved reading about how Ascend is using mountaineering to empower women! It’s fascinating how physical challenges can foster personal growth and community. How do you measure the impact of these Eggy Car experiences on women's lives beyond just climbing? Would love to hear more about any specific stories that have really stood out!
