A Word From Rebecca Ross

As a writer for GearJunkie, I get the opportunity to utilize three of my interests: the outdoors, photography, and my collective experience as a climber. In 2017, I started blogging for Melanin Base Camp around the same time I started mountaineering. Over the years, I found myself writing and doing photography for various organizations, which ultimately led me to GearJunkie. My personal interests include photography, swimming, camping, cross-country skiing, reading, and DIY health & beauty.
