About alisonosius:
I have been climbing for 28 years, and writing for longer, having begun with a local newspaper as a teen. I am executive editor for Rock and Ice, a magazine that covers all aspects of the climbing world, with a literary approach and a humorous bent. Well, WE think we’re funny.
I have climbed across North America, in Europe many times and in Australia. At one time I competed professionally, winning several national championships and competing in World Cups and the X Games. I was also the first woman president of the American Alpine Club, a hundred-year-old service, policy and conservation organization.
I have freelanced for many publications, from the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the London Independent, to a humor column for the local Glenwood Springs Post Independent, and I wrote a biography, Second Ascent: the Story of Hugh Herr.
I live in Carbondale, Colorado, with my husband and two young sons, and do the kinds of things you live in a mountain town to do: climb, ski, hike, and (er, poorly) mountain bike.
