Joanne Urioste is a legend - she established some of Red Rocks' most iconic lines, including Cat in the Hat (Apr '76), Olive Oil (Feb '78), Frogland (May '78), Epinephrine (Aug '78), Crimson Chrysalis (Oct '79), Eagle Dance (Mar '80), Dream of Wild Turkeys (Jun '80), Levitation 29 (May '81), and Armatron (Jun '03). She also published Red Rocks' first climbing guidebook, in 1984.

Broad Beta (https://www.broadbeta.com/) has just interviewed her in their latest podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1jmL3b9LK1qNsEIk8Po0PS. Her path to becoming a prolific first-ascentionist is absolutely incredible to hear about!

Urioste also just published a memoir, Collages of Rock and Desire, which looks like an amazing read: https://www.amazon.com/Collages-Rock-Desire-Re-imagining-Climbing/dp/B0G45SK5R9/ref=zg_bs_g_68143_d_sccl_1/145-1295128-3220810?psc=1
