In All That Glitters: A Climbers Journey through Addiction and Depression, world-renowned ice climber Margo Talbot shares her compelling story of healing and self-discovery amid the frozen landscapes of the planet. Rescued from the depths of drug addiction and crime by the lure of climbing frozen waterfalls, Margo rises from the brink of suicidal depression in a jail cell to being envied by a client in Antarctica for having a “dream life”.

In her talk for Women’s Alpine Adventure Club, Margo shares her story of healing and redemption; a story about losing oneself, and then finding one’s way back home. And then brings us right up to date with the work she’s doing now - both in sharing the tools of overcoming depression and anxiety and sharing the activity that literally saved her life, with others now in similar situations.

As always, we will have a question and answer session with Margo so you can reach out to her with anything personal you’d like to share or any advice you’d like to hear. We can’t wait to hear Margo’s story and meet her in person!
