The Broad Beta Podcast and BroadBeta.com are spaces to openly share women’s and genderqueer experiences of climbing, skiing, and other mountain adventures, from the ordinary to the heroic. Our contributors tell stories that foster wildness within, and outside, ourselves. Through these stories, we hope to inspire and empower anyone who listens.

Jewell Lund - Polarchrome
We are so excited to have Jewell Lund on this episode. Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, Jewell tells us about her path into climbing, the partnerships that impacted her life, and her decision to step away from climbing in recent years. She reads her story Polarchrome, which was published on the Broad Beta website in March of this year. Check it out to see the mind blowing pictures of her and Chantel Astorga in Alaska.
What Jewell won’t tell you about herself is what a badass she is (as well as a truly talented writer). As you’ll hear, her foray into the high alpine was short but sweet and incredibly impressive. For example, she was part of the first all female ascent of the Denali Diamond, arguably one of the most difficult routes on Denali.
In recent years, Jewell has been working toward getting her PhD in snow hydrology while living in Fort Collins, Colorado. Please welcome Jewell and enjoy her beautiful story.
