In this episode of Extreme Origins, Kevin sits down with Kimber Cross; adaptive alpinist, ice climber, educator, and advocate for inclusion in the outdoors. Kimber shares how she balances her dual life as a kindergarten teacher and elite climber, becoming the first adaptive lead climber for The Mountaineers.
From navigating the challenges of climbing with a prosthetic to mentoring the next generation of outdoor athletes, Kimber’s story embodies grit, grace, and the mantra she lives by: “Can’t. Will. Did.”
Hear how Kimber turned setbacks into innovation, how teaching five-year-olds informs her mountain mindset, and why perseverance, on the wall or in life, matters more than perfection.
