Navajo Mountain, on the largest reservation in the US, was the epicenter of the coal industry, and the land and health of the miners have suffered.  Because of low-density housing and rugged terrain, 15% of the Navajos are not connected to the grid and do not have electricity.  This poses extra hardship for the elderly, who rely on firewood to ward off the bitter desert winters.

In this presentation, Kitty shares a teaser from her new film and the transition to clean energy on the Navajo Reservation.

But what does all of this mean? This presentation will help you understand and estimate the forces on the most critical components of the climbing system: the climber, the belayer, and the highest piece of gear or bolt that's been clipped.
