Girl Crush: An Interview with Natalie Siddique
Every so often, we’ll interview extraordinary girls doing extraordinary things: this is Girl Crush. This week, we’re thrilled to have caught up with bouldering babe and female entrepreneur Natalie Siddique right before she headed off to the Valley to get her climb on!
Natalie Siddique
is a Russian-Bangladeshi climber, traveler, shenanigan-seeker, and co-founder of Moja Gear. She’s explored over 25 countries and 48 states, lived in both Russia and Bangladesh, and has found her happy place in California. Natalie’s ideal days involve early morning sunrises, crimping on small nobs, playing a round of Settlers of Catan, and drinking an IPA.
Girl Crush: An Interview with Allison Ong
Every so often, we’ll interview extraordinary girls doing extraordinary things: this is Girl Crush. This week, we’re totally stoked to have caught up with badass par excellence Allison Ong (en route to Yosemite, no less)!
Alison on Inti Watana (5.10c), Red Rock
I first met Allison during my climbcation to Vietnam, where she was working as a rock climbing guide on Cat Ba island a few years ago. Allison has lived and climbed all over the world, from New York to Tokyo to a Subaru Outback across the United States.
Allison currently resides in East Palo Alto, CA, where she interns for a landscape architecture firm, and route sets at her local gym. She considers herself a 5.10 trad climber, and some of her favorite ascents include: Liberty Cap & Half Dome, Yosemite; the Mont Blanc, France/Italy; Levitation 29!, Red Rock; Modern Times, The Gunks! (that roof is intimidating!!); and The Face, Vietnam.
