In April of 2020, Anna lost her friend in an avalanche while the two were splitboarding Mt. Taylor. In the wake of the accident, Anna utilized the AAC’s Climbing Grief Fund to find accessible mental health care and connect with others who were grappling with similar trauma from accidents in the mountains. In this episode, we sat down with Anna to have a profoundly raw and elegant conversation about her experience of the accident, how the trauma of the avalanche changed her relationship to backcountry snowboarding and skiing culture, reflections on the toxic narratives of shame and blame that often still persist around outdoor tragedies, and her personal journey as she learns (and continues learning) to navigate her post-avalanche world.

The AAC’s Climbing Grief Fund has a directory of therapists who are specialists in the unique risks, challenges, joys, and euphoria of outdoor recreation, and are informed practitioners who support climbers experiencing grief and trauma. And though the directory is an invaluable resource when people need support in the face of the most intense kinds of grief and tragedy, these counselors also have expertise in other areas, including sports performance psychology. Because it's all connected–just as grief and trauma impacts our relationship to climbing, so too, does working on resilience, self-compassion, and other mental health skills help us excel at our goals in climbing. In this episode, we have CGF therapist and sports psychologist Neal Palles on to chat about how to practice and stack various mental training techniques and concepts on top of each other to build towards peak performance. We periodize our physical training, and according to Palles, we can apply that same concept to mental skills as well. Dive in!

im always up on my own
nobody think bout me
where is my special song?
oh where is my special song?

autumn got me sad as fuck

i cant tell the difference everything is the same
nobody wants me here and im trapped up in my ways
i just want free of this circle
its making me worse
every part of me hurts still
pack me up in a hearse
i dont care about all your visions
i lied cause ive seen them
everything is so distant
and my mind is still missing
(x2)

everything is the same

lyrics:
im already hating winter it aint even here yet
i spend my time inside just crying letting myself just tear up
and the bags on my eyes are heavy im way too tired waste my life i fear it
took a nap woke up now im out of it oh i know my mind aint here shit 

i need you how you were but you were never mine
so i guess i need you to go and just leave my life
everythings my fault baby please just hit my line
we could be together baby it would end out just fine
(x2)

lyrics:
she told me not to hold on
pretty hard when your hearts been stolen
everything i do is so long
whens this over i dont know i dont know if i can go on
she told me its better off to forget
but im lost without your memory let me in
after everything i do now i cant accept
you cant leave me please what is happening
oooo everything we did is so pointless now
oooo were you in my life just to cause me pain slowly
tell me why you left i cant bear the pain of that
dont withhold and keep me stressed i cant maintain like that

please dont leave me alone i dont wanna die alone
please dont leave me here i hate it here i hate it

dont hold on
