For Christmas one year Mom and Dad gave me and my sister custom-made rock climbing Barbies, complete with hand-made harnesses with dangling washers and bolts for gear, and to-scale ropes coiled on their backs. I still remember the day I realized it wasn’t a contradiction to like to play dress up with my sister one day and go rock climbing with my brother the next. Girls rule.

Girls Rule
Great positive athletic role models for girls are everywhere, but not always easy to find. Girl’s Rule on The Gizzard Stone is a place to explore the awesome things girls can do. If you see something that should go here. Please send it to us!
