Astronaut Christina Koch, currently onboard the Artemis II mission, is a climber. And not just a climber in passing, with rental shoes and little else. She’s a climber to her core: listing “rock and ice climbing” among her hobbies in her NASA profile. […]

A deep dive into the wormhole of Koch’s climbing past reveals she has been lead climbing for at least a decade, enjoys the challenge of trad routes, and gets out ice climbing in Hyalite Canyon in Montana, where she once lived. She also backpacked throughWyoming’s Wind River Range, a premier climbing destination.
