Dani Critzas-Murphy's hardest climb didn’t involve a wall. It involved twins.

"Looking at social media felt like peering into a window of what my life was supposed to be like while pregnant. I scrolled through videos and pictures of all my favorite pro climbers seemingly unbothered by their own pregnancy. Their commitment and diligence to the sport couldn’t be deterred.

"Unfortunately, soon into my second trimester, the only thing my pregnancy harness was doing was collecting dust under my bed. My babies were in the shape of a T in my belly, causing an immense amount of pain in my spine.

"Swimming became the only activity my body could handle. Doing laps in my dingy local YMCA swimming pool — like a submarine with my multi-passenger load — was the highlight of my day. I felt ashamed by the lack of climbing I did during my pregnancy, as if my not climbing would prevent my babies from loving the sport as much as I do.

"Already, I could feel a tension beginning to battle within me as an expectant mother. Climbing used to feel like my whole world, the driving factor in all my decisions. Now, as a soon-to-be mom, I was struggling to make sense of a different reality."
