“A couple of things that are really special about Shifting Gears is that it really removes barriers for women to engage in the outdoors. Some of those barriers are real, like financial limitations, and the support that Shifting Gears provides to either eliminate or reduce the cost for some events removes those barriers for anyone to participate. It also removes perceived barriers that women might be intimidated or feel uncomfortable trying things on their own out in the wilderness or out in nature.
