Summary
Mountaineering: Angie's 2022 Adventure Fundraiser for The Cairn Project – climbing five Cascade Volcanoes including Mt. Rainier, raising grants for girls' wilderness programs, documenting the journey to make mountaineering more accessible for women, and inspiring deeper potential in mind and body.
Everybody loves a summit selfie. But most people don't get to peer into the infinite behind-the-scenes moments before and after the shutter snaps-- which is where the true magic happens!
In 2022, Angie volunteered for a nonprofit called The Cairn Project to raise grant funding for community organizations that offer wilderness experiences to girls and gender-expansive youth. Her "Adventure Fundraiser" involved climbing five Cascade Volcanoes in Oregon and Washington (including Mt. Rainier), as well as documenting the journey to make mountaineering more accessible to other women.
The values and processes of outdoor journeys compel Angie to dig deeper into what's possible for her mind and body— and her mission is to inspire others to do the same.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast. I'm your host, Mason. Today we're talking to Angie Marie about climbing the five Cascade volcanoes, or the five that |
| 0:23.0 | she did. There's more than that. But the big, big mountains in the Pacific Northwest that stand all |
| 0:27.7 | alone. They're huge like Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens. Angie wanted to climb these five to help |
| 0:33.8 | raise money for young girls and women to go on adventures. |
| 0:39.6 | Angie has spent her entire career making the outdoors more inclusive from folks with different |
| 0:44.6 | abilities to more gender inclusive so that folks feel comfortable. |
| 0:49.6 | There's a lot of hurdles for a lot of people. |
| 0:51.3 | And how she did this project was through the Karen project, |
| 0:55.6 | a site and a project that basically is all about getting women outdoors and helping |
| 1:02.4 | fundraise for other people to go outdoors and do these awesome adventures. So she started this |
| 1:08.4 | adventure fundraiser through the five Cascade volcanoes in Oregon and Washington, |

| 1:28.8 | incredible things. And what I love about this story is she just got invited one day. She got |
| 1:33.6 | invited to go somewhere, had someone she knew, said, can I come? And that's how this whole thing |
| 1:39.0 | got started. That's how this life got started in the mountains. I find it so often, if you just invite people to go with you, |
| 1:46.3 | even people that you don't think might be interested or have any skills, as long as you're |
| 1:51.1 | not putting them in danger, invite people. That's one of the best ways to get people to actually |
