Annika Enders — Ice, Rock, Guiding & Belonging

Meet Annika Enders — ice climber, rock climber, and guide. We met Annika at Presque Isle in Marquette, Michigan, the home of her favorite local climb, The Pinnacle. Our conversation traced her roots in the Midwest, her path into outdoor recreation, and the realities of building a career in the industry. We dug into the hard parts too, including burnout, imposter syndrome, and the persistent gender imbalance in leadership and guiding. We talked about ice and rock climbing, giving back to the climbing community, and the value of all-women trips, as well as organic farming, crafting, music, community, and cats.

Anna Gibson — Joy, Balance & Women’s Community

Meet Anna Gibson — professional trail runner and multi-sport mountain athlete. We met at Lupine Meadows Trailhead in Grand Teton National Park, with the stunning Teewinot Mountain rising behind us. Growing up in Teton Village in a family of ski bums, Anna’s childhood revolved around skiing, exploring the mountains, and chasing every adventure the Tetons had to offer. By age ten, she dreamed of becoming a professional ski racer, but it wasn’t until she laced up running shoes that she discovered her true endurance gift. That passion carried her through a college running career, a Brooks sponsorship, and a professional journey marked by course records, national titles, and world championship podiums. In our conversation, Anna shares how she balances running, skiing, and biking to stay grounded in joy, her take on women’s representation in mountain sports, and the power of community and mentorship in shaping both performance and purpose. It is a conversation full of inspiration, adventure, and insight from one of the most accomplished athletes in trail and mountain running today.
