Join us in cheering on former Insight (IRG) staff member (and registered nurse, wilderness medicine instructor, and badass adventurer) Eric Strickler as he tackles the Race to Alaska, a 750 mile boat race from Port Townsend to Ketchikan, Alaska! With no engines allowed and no support provided, R2AK describes the race as, "cutting through true wilderness, past logging towns and empty shorelines, through orca country, grizzly country, and currents that can run over 20 knots. Rescue is hours—sometimes days—away. Out here, self-reliance isn’t a virtue. It’s survival."

And because Eric loves a challenge, he's not using a boat, but racing the entire 750 miles on a stand up paddleboard! What might motivate someone to take on this audacious challenge??! Eric explains that he first got into SUP in 2015 after a climbing accident, and "since then, I’ve crossed Lake Michigan twice, explored Lake Superior, rivers in the Midwest and Southeast and completed the 7048 race three times by SUP. I love the exercise of being on a SUP and how it engages all my body and senses and it’s also just real dang fun. Endurance challenges have always attracted me and I plan to continue to attempt them. Real excited about this one!"

The race kicks off Sunday 6/14 in Port Townsend, you can follow Eric AKA Team Apple Bottom Boy at https://r2ak.com

Wishing you fair winds and following seas, Eric!! See you on the other side!

Big shout out to Insight community member, Brent, for sending El Capitan in Yosemite this month! Brent and his climbing partner, Hans Florine, spent two nights and three days on the wall climbing the Triple Direct route (Salathé to the Nose). They had lots of fun, took some great pictures, and left with plenty of memories. If you see Brent, make sure to give him a fist bump!

💥Staff Member Highlight!💥This month we're talking to one of our newest front desk staff, Adrian! You can find Adrian at the front desk at Insight Bremerton, or coaching our Bremerton Youth Recreation Team! Let's see what they have to say:

🎤How long have you been working at Insight Climbing & Movement?
🐈‍⬛Since March, but I worked at the gym previously for two years while in high school! I'm super stoked to be back.

🎤What do you love about working here?
🐈‍⬛I love the sense of community with both staff and the general climbing community. Everyone is always so welcoming, inclusive, and encouraging, and the energy is always great in the gym.

🎤What do you love about climbing?
🐈‍⬛I love that climbing involves full-body intention and focus--you have to move in a completely different way than most other sports in order to balance and move forward or upward, and you can't worry about anything else while climbing! I also think it's really cool that you have to be willing to fall and get back up in order to grow as a climber.

🎤What do you do to try to make the world a better place?
🐈‍⬛I always try to approach every situation with compassion and empathy, and I'm always ready to learn more about the world around me and ways I can help make it a kinder and safer place.

🎤What do you do when you're not climbing?
🐈‍⬛When I'm not climbing, I'm reading, writing, painting, gardening, hiking, or hanging out with cats—either my own or the ones at the shelter.

🎤What are you nerding out on right now?
🐈‍⬛It's springtime, which means my rubber plant collection (in the double digits...) has started leafing out again! Since they're no longer dormant, I can test out some new propagation/branching techniques and continue my hunt for the Ficus altissima variety at local nurseries.

Thanks for sharing, Adrian!
