Before her death in a climbing accident in Alaska in April 2024, she actively fostered a welcoming and inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ individuals in the sport.   Robbi co-founded the Adirondack Queer Ice Fest in 2022, an annual event that created a dedicated space for queer and transgender people to connect and enjoy ice climbing. This festival aimed to reduce the isolation often experienced by queer and trans climbers.   As an out transgender woman who came out in her mid-40s while working as a Forest Ranger, Robbi became a visible and inspiring role model.

She was involved in organizing pride events and was outspoken about her identity. Her efforts extended to her work within the Department of Environmental Conservation, where she was recognized for advancing diversity and LGBTQ+ belonging.   Through her actions and initiatives, Robbi Mecus had a profound impact on the queer climbing community, creating spaces, fostering inclusivity, and serving as an inspiring figure for many.

To climb a mountain is to simultaneously give up small pieces of what you know to be true, while also finding yourself whole, complete. Climbers must let go of ego and take a moment to read what the mountain is telling them. Whether the soft murmurs are being carried on the wind, or the rocks are screaming at you, listening to Mother Nature when she speaks may very well save your life. and yet, sometimes it is not the mountain herself calling to you, rather the ghosts from years past pleading “don't go there”. And when you do, you leave a resolute path that has been walked a time before. Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.

And he has been waiting here, for you, for days.  If you would have taken the time to slow down, you might have noticed the footprints surrounding the cabin, in a calm and even stride.  But now, it is too late.  Because you wounded him. You stole from him. And now, it is his time to get his revenge.  And all you can do is try to defend your life. But as the seconds tick by, it becomes more and more apparent that the entire community around you will begin to wonder if man is really as strong as we think we are.  Or if the top predator is really that of the tiger.  Sources: The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself.

Climbing a mountain can be complicated, and enticing and even when life hangs in the balance, men still want more of it. This, is part of the allure for the North Face of the Eiger. The first attempt up the north face had a 100% mortality rate, and for 4 years after that the mortality rate was 50%. The wall became known as the “murder wall”, and with a name like that, rescue parties wanted nothing to do with it. If you were crazy enough to climb the Eiger, you got yourself off, or you died.

Life can be hard, but children are resilient.  As a child, you can find fascination in the simplest of objects, find friends in birds flittering by over your head, and companionship with the trees and leaves.  You play eagerly, and learn without intention, letting the elements of the earth breathe life into your skin and soul. The sun dances on your cheeks and the wind rustles your hair.  Helping you to connect to what really matters - for it is Mother Earth that provides everything we need to survive. Curled up in a bed of warmth. A belly full of berries and a stream satiated your thirst, you find yourself drifting off to sleep with nothing but wonder for tomorrow.  You are almost 4 and when the morning sun brightens the sky, you open your eyes and blink the sleepiness away. Then your eyes focus and you find, that you are utterly alone.  Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.  Sources:  https://www.spri.cam.ac.uk/resources/rfn/sakha.html#:~:text=The%20republic%20plays%20an%20important,%2C%2033%25%20of%20the%20silver. https://historicflix.com/the-story-of-karina-chikitova-the-real-life-mowgli/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6311361/amp/Girl-survived-12-nights-Siberian-wilderness-shows-remarkable-recovery-ballet-star.html https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/336335-karina-chikitova-survived/amp https://www.huffpost.com/entry/girl-saved-by-her-puppy-siberia_n_5676414/amp https://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/little-girl-survives-11-days-siberian-forest https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/08/12/little-girl-survives-11-days-in-forest-thanks-to-family-dog-a38259 https://www.denverpost.com/2006/06/03/childlike-behavior-helps-kids-survive/
