305 Suzanne Rowen: Climbing Mountains—Living Intensely and Expansively
- 305 Suzanne Rowen: Climbing Mountains—Living Intensely and Expansively Gail Zelitzky and Catherine Marienau 28:02
Suzanne Rowen, age 72, has been climbing mountains in the Pacific Northwest for the past 30 years. Leading self and others are cross-over skills between mountaineering and working in high stakes crisis communications on Wall Street, Suzanne’s earlier life on the East Coast. She finds climbing mountains to be “equally intense and marvelously expansive.” As a dedicated mountaineer, Suzanne peaked all the volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest and led numerous climbing expeditions. Now she prefers climbing solo and finds that “being in nature keeps us sane; you never outgrow it.” Suzanne mentors young women in mountaineering and is turning to fiction writing set in nature and mountains.
“The mountains meet you where you are; you can express who you are any time in life”
