Apple PodcastsOn Episode 311 of the Enormocast, I catch up in Moab with Brazilian climber Gisely Ferraz AKA Gisely Souza AKA Brazilianclimbergirl AKA Gi. Though Gisely started climbing in Brazil, she has spent much of the last two decades in North America- first in the Northeast and then out West. Though she fell in and out of climbing during her early life, after she raised a boy and got him through college, Gisely felt free to pursue her climbing dirtbag dreams at 40. That path led her into the arms of Ken Anderson and a few dream years together on the wing with her perfect partner. But then tragedy struck and Ken perished from a long fall while he and Gisely were on the Chief in Squamish. The years following were brutal for Gisely, but she carried on and healed as best she could through climbing. Gisely has gone on to be a force in OW climbing, new routing in the desert, and climbing in Patagonia. And Ken Anderson’s inspiration has never left her.

OG Kalous….thank you. Nobody finds the climbers that are real and that 99% of us can identify with like you. You keep the flame flickering of the old school climber.
Episode 211?
That was going to be my only comment after just listening to the intro…but now I’ve listened to the whole episode and I have to say you achieved another powerful, moving gem.
Thanks again
I fixed that pretty soon after dropping it. You probably have a download of the original. Glad you went the distance. Gi really gave it.
Gi is sooo cool, can only hope to be like her when I’m in my 40s. Crusher!!!
Intense.
