A book is often just a jumping off point to talk about other topics we care deeply about. In this episode, we bring mountain guide and adventure writer Charlotte Austin’s Adventure Grapes Online Book Club to life. Along with Charlotte and outdoor author Shawnté Salabert, host Gale Straub discusses questions of gender roles in the outdoors and adventure narratives, as well as the outdoors’ role in mental health issues. These subjects were talked about in the context of “All That Glitters: A Climber’s Journey Through Addiction and Depression” a memoir by ice climber Margo Talbot.
