Irene Yee — Climbing, Creativity & Changing Who Gets Seen

In this episode of Get Stoked Girls, we sit down with adventure photographer, storyteller, and advocate for inclusivity in climbing, Irene Yee. Her bold, vibrant work has appeared in National Geographic, Climbing Magazine, Alpinist, Outside Magazine, and more, and she’s collaborated with brands like The North Face, Marmot, and the Honnold Foundation.

In this conversation, Irene shares how climbing and photography changed her life — and how she’s using her lens to celebrate women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA2+ representation in the outdoors. From media’s role in shaping culture to practical advice on learning technical skills, she brings both passion and purpose to everything she does.

We met up in Red Rock Canyon, where it all began — the cliffs where she first climbed, and first picked up a camera.
