Lincoln-Haye tries her hand at ice climbing at a two-day, all-women clinic called Chicks with Picks in mid-January in ELEVATED Ouray, Colo. GOALS Climbing is passion for Kimberly woman By Andrew Weeks Times-News writer
hen Diana Lincoln-Haye was invited by a friend to rock climb last spring, the one Wthing on her mind was rappelling. She was nervous, wondering if she could do it. But after learning how to rappel properly — there’s a right way and wrong way to climb, she said — the fear left her and she spent the rest of the season on the rocks, literally. “Now I love rappelling,”the 53-year-old Kimberly resident said. It boosted her confidence. With 14 climbs under her belt, Lincoln-Haye is growing her skills by learning how to ice climb. In mid-January she was one of nine women nationwide to attend an all-women ice climbing clinic, Chicks with Picks, in Ouray, Colo. She was instructed during the two-day event by world- renowned climbers Kitty Calhoun and Caroline George. LOCAL CLIMBS “It was amazing,”she said. “They got us right into it. Idaho offers a number of places to rock climb. Below are just a few: We were all climbing within a couple hours, and the Castle Rocks State Park (Malta): Contains granite spires and monoliths.

Though some of the same tech- niques are used, ice climbing is its own beast. “They’re both in the vertical world,”Reynolds said. Lincoln-Haye enjoys both, but rock climbing offers more venues and a longer season. Besides the adrenaline rush that climbing provides, it’s a good way to make friends and boost confidence. “It’s a great thing for women,”she said. “It gives us an idea of how much more we can do than we initially believed we could.” She said women make good climbers because, unlike men, they have to rely more on technique rather than upper-body strength. Her son also climbs, but so far she hasn’t been able to get other family members to join her on the rocks. Her husband, Stan Haye, however, is reconsidering. He said he’s thinking about taking a climbing course this spring. Climbing isn’t Lincoln-Haye’s only outdoor adventure. She’s tried skydiving, para- sailing, kayaking and wants to try ballooning at the Grand Tetons. Her first ice-climbing adventure took place in May 2002 in Alaska with her son, Nathan. She also served a medical mission to Nepal last September- October, where she trekked village-to-village at about 12,000 feet. Stan said he’s not too concerned about his wife’s climbs, because she surrounds herself with the best instructors. He envisions her one day becoming an instructor herself, he said. “She’s a great woman, and just loves to do all kinds of outdoor stuff,”he said. She enjoys horseback riding and photography, among other things. “But I would say this is the big passion in my life right now,”she said of climbing. Next month she hopes to climb in Moab, Utah, and late this summer she wants to tackle Elephant Perch in the Sawtooths above Stanley. “You either love it or you don’t,”she said. “I love it.”
