Young woman amazes everyone by climbing a mountain wearing a skirt and high heels

An American woman has made it a sport to climb high mountain peaks in an everyday outfit. “At first I struggled to climb one mountain, and now I do it with my fingers in my nose, even in heels,” she says.

Erin Ton loves mountaineering so much that she dropped out of college in 2018 to become a full-time mountaineer. The 22-year-old woman has now defied some 57 mountain peaks in Colorado and nowadays no longer does so in adapted outdoor clothing, but simply in a skirt and high heels. She shared some photos of her striking outfit at the top of Mount Elbert at 4,401 meters. Her followers did not hide their enthusiasm. “Crazy and impressive at the same time”, “You are the coolest person ever” and “What a tough woman with class”, it sounds among others. When people ask her why she's doing it, she replies in the Colorado Gazette, "Why not?" For her, the everyday outfit is symbolic. “It is symbolic of how fast I have progressed. At first I struggled to climb one mountain, and now I do it with fingers in my nose, even in heels. I now have a lot of experience and know what I'm doing. I don't mean to urge people to do stupid and reckless things. I know my limits, ”she concludes. Just so you know.

In this Happy Hour we have two nice Jukebox Giants and we will of course play a track from Bruce Springsteen's CD of the Month "Letter to you". Oh yes, there will also be a call to someone who has had a birthday.
Erik's Tip is:

Have fun listening!

Decade Dick: Almost all participants passed the traffic exam

Freek Bredius was a guest in Decennium Dick on behalf of Safe Traffic Netherlands department Krimpen aan den IJssel. He was able to tell us that 421 children participated in the practical traffic exam today. All but five children passed. Congratulations to all! The children who did not make it turned out to have cycled on the route with their hands free. The route started and ended at the Tuyter. Mayor Martijn Vroom was present to officially start the first class. 7.3 Kilometers was cycled and the children of the groups 7 and 8 passed all kinds of difficult intersections and traffic situations in Krimpen aan den IJssel. What was very annoying and difficult was that there have been young people who removed or turned around signs from the route. In addition, some plates are irreparably damaged. It was the first time that this happened on the day of the traffic test. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file . Also in this edition of Decennium Dick a...

Renewed culture agenda in development!
