Stories From Women Who Walk · 2026-04-27 · 3 min
Hello to you listening in Thune, Switzerland ! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Maybe like me you’ve asked a friend for help in your hour of need. What did you get? “ Just tie a knot in the end of your rope and hold on to that. ” Sure, with enough rope to tie a knot and enough strength to hold on you might be okay; but what if nothing is all you have? Imagine this: 6 women and 2 young guides high in the frigid and snowy Canadian Rocky Mountains on an Outward Bound mountaineering expedition. Our task was to scale the face of a mountain in pairs by climbing, using strength, handholds, and the safety ropes the guides had secured far above us and out of sight beyond a cliff edge. Climbing up my partner froze dangling between the top and the rocky ground below. She stammered out: “ I can't find anything to hold on to .” Time passed. And then the voice of one of our guides called out, “ Grab it with both hands !” It worked! She got all the way to the top! And, rappelled back down!
