During the isolation of the past year, we learned something fundamental about wellness: gathering to work out (and play) is incredible for the body and soul—and might help change the world for the better. For the #GQBodyIssue, NYC athletic crews go deep on the purpose they find in a shared passion. Read the full story at the link in bio. Photographs by @daniellelevitt .Styled by @tietztietz

Ashima Shiraishi Instagram - At the beginning of the pandemic when my hometown (NYC) was hit hardest, @clifbar reached out to me to see if there was any way to help. We worked with the New York food bank to donate Clif bars that would help aid the 1.5 million New Yorkers that rely on food pantries. This opportunity allowed me to pause and gain a better perspective of my place not only in my home city, but the world. This moment ignited a fire in me to take further action and to continue to contribute in ways I hope will better the lives of people from all backgrounds. I have spent time learning more, and sharing what I can by volunteering at different organizations like @northbrooklynangels @youngwomenwhocrush and starting @allriseoutdoors as an effort to tackle barriers to entry into outdoor activities.
Clif bar, thank you for fueling me to not only to reach “new heights” in climbing but also in becoming a more active participant in my community. 
I have learned so much this past year, and I hope you have too. Let's continue listening. Let's continue conversing. Let's continue learning. Let's move the world to new heights.

Ashima Shiraishi Instagram - It’s been a minute since I last set foot into a competition setting and i forgot about the intensity of the psychological experience and trying to find the balance of adrenaline and tranquility- I missed all of it so much tho. 
Very excited to have qualified for the US National Team and can’t wait to represent on the international stage along with these strong women this summer :)) 
Much love to the city of Memphis - i’m so grateful to have had a glimpse of the soul and richness of the city. Thank you @malikthamartian for taking the time to show us around and for the invaluable conversations to better inform us of the cultural and historical significance that the city holds. A major shoutout to @memphisroxclimbing - a climbing gym that serves the community by offering sliding scale entry, meals to those in need , mentoring services and many more resources. It was a pleasure to spend some time climbing with the youth team with fellow @thenorthface team athlete @nathaniel.coleman . Since it is a non-profit, their operation depends on the generosity of donors! Hit the link in their profile to donate :) lastly, swipe to hear a beautiful sax solo from Beale Street 🎶💜thanks for the photos: @breesframes @tim.hath

Ashima Shiraishi Instagram - I often find myself in a love-hate struggle with material objects — on one hand, I love how clothing can be a vehicle for self-expression, and on the other, I feel guilty of the clutter and materialistic overconsumption. But I’ve gradually settled upon a happy medium; I enjoy a deep connection with very special items and try to Marie Kondo the rest. Through each decluttering phase I go through, I come to appreciate, with fresh eyes, the objects that mean so much to me. 

This oversized TNF “men’s” puffy may just be a jacket, but for me it’s more of a physical manifestation of the emotional journey I’ve been on with it — it’s given me the comfort of being hugged by its thermal layer, the gift of serving looks 👀🔥, and has been a key part of many fond memories of city + outdoor adventures that carries a special place in my heart. 

“Buy experiences instead of things” is a pretty solid rule of thumb to follow, but in some cases, there are exceptions to that saying. My new interpretation is “buy objects that will help you to have experiences you love”. It’s rare to find items that you hold an intimate connection with, but the few that we do can mean so much to us.

Ashima Shiraishi Instagram - @powellsbooks has been high on my list of places to go for a hot minute and the place did not disappoint! I associate bookstores with my childhood days which always seem to give me a sense of nostalgia, in a good way... On the topic of childhood and books, it was very surreal to see my book on a shelf for the first time! Cannot get over the fact that my book is in Powell’s 😆 

bonus slides: I’m pretty sure we found the deepest secrets to the universe in the metaphysics aisle.

Ashima Shiraishi Instagram - The rocks, ever-evolving, are shaped into curved and glacial looking sculptures by the water. 
Lao Tzu once said, “Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong”. 

Water being soft and strong reminds me of the soft power of storytelling. Here’s one story: 
before Los Angeles was even a word on a map, it was called Tovaangar, the territory of the Tongva, Chumash and Kizh, who were then enslaved to build the San Gabriel Mission and San Fernando Mission. It may be unsettling to realize but urban areas that have become so ingrained in our collective consciousness as “American” were once native land, too.

Ashima Shiraishi Instagram - Me & all my study snacks. Thx @clifbar for sending me these slightly caramelized, crispy cookie-esque versions of your bars 😋 you’ll understand the description after trying them. On another note, I’ll be needing more study snacks for when I enroll to classes at UCLA this fall . #ClifBarThins

Ashima Shiraishi Instagram - A whole lotta punting on this one. It’s funny how much I love the process of being consumed by a boulder problem that I even enjoy the part where I fall off of the last moves 5 times in a row and feel utterly devastated hahaha. It’s not always the case, but I love the invigorating sensation that comes only when you’re in a place of defeat. 

What a pleasure it was to enjoy the rocks, streams and views for a few days in Payahuunadü, ‘the land of flowing water’, on Paiute and Shoshone land. 🔝 soon, hopefully. Till then, it’s time to train for the Lead World Cups in 🇫🇷 ! @cheynacarr @noahsahady pics.

During the isolation of the past year, we learned something fundamental about wellness: gathering to work out (and play) is incredible for the body and soul—and might help change the world for the better.

Ashima Shiraishi - 18.8K Likes - At the beginning of the pandemic when my hometown (NYC) was hit hardest, @clifbar reached out to me to see if there was any way to help. We worked with the New York food bank to donate Clif bars that would help aid the 1.5 million New Yorkers that rely on food pantries. This opportunity allowed me to pause and gain a better perspective of my place not only in my home city, but the world. This moment ignited a fire in me to take further action and to continue to contribute in ways I hope will better the lives of people from all backgrounds. I have spent time learning more, and sharing what I can by volunteering at different organizations like @northbrooklynangels @youngwomenwhocrush and starting @allriseoutdoors as an effort to tackle barriers to entry into outdoor activities.
Clif bar, thank you for fueling me to not only to reach “new heights” in climbing but also in becoming a more active participant in my community. 
I have learned so much this past year, and I hope you have too. Let's continue listening. Let's continue conversing. Let's continue learning. Let's move the world to new heights.

Ashima Shiraishi - 16K Likes - It’s been a minute since I last set foot into a competition setting and i forgot about the intensity of the psychological experience and trying to find the balance of adrenaline and tranquility- I missed all of it so much tho. 
Very excited to have qualified for the US National Team and can’t wait to represent on the international stage along with these strong women this summer :)) 
Much love to the city of Memphis - i’m so grateful to have had a glimpse of the soul and richness of the city. Thank you @malikthamartian for taking the time to show us around and for the invaluable conversations to better inform us of the cultural and historical significance that the city holds. A major shoutout to @memphisroxclimbing - a climbing gym that serves the community by offering sliding scale entry, meals to those in need , mentoring services and many more resources. It was a pleasure to spend some time climbing with the youth team with fellow @thenorthface team athlete @nathaniel.coleman . Since it is a non-profit, their operation depends on the generosity of donors!

Ashima Shiraishi - 15.5K Likes - I often find myself in a love-hate struggle with material objects — on one hand, I love how clothing can be a vehicle for self-expression, and on the other, I feel guilty of the clutter and materialistic overconsumption. But I’ve gradually settled upon a happy medium; I enjoy a deep connection with very special items and try to Marie Kondo the rest. Through each decluttering phase I go through, I come to appreciate, with fresh eyes, the objects that mean so much to me. 

This oversized TNF “men’s” puffy may just be a jacket, but for me it’s more of a physical manifestation of the emotional journey I’ve been on with it — it’s given me the comfort of being hugged by its thermal layer, the gift of serving looks 👀🔥, and has been a key part of many fond memories of city + outdoor adventures that carries a special place in my heart. 

“Buy experiences instead of things” is a pretty solid rule of thumb to follow, but in some cases, there are exceptions to that saying. My new interpretation is “buy objects that will help you to have experiences you love”. It’s rare to find items that you hold an intimate connection with, but the few that we do can mean so much to us.

Ashima Shiraishi - 13.5K Likes - @powellsbooks has been high on my list of places to go for a hot minute and the place did not disappoint! I associate bookstores with my childhood days which always seem to give me a sense of nostalgia, in a good way... On the topic of childhood and books, it was very surreal to see my book on a shelf for the first time! Cannot get over the fact that my book is in Powell’s 😆 

bonus slides: I’m pretty sure we found the deepest secrets to the universe in the metaphysics aisle.

Ashima Shiraishi - 13K Likes - The rocks, ever-evolving, are shaped into curved and glacial looking sculptures by the water. 
Lao Tzu once said, “Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong”. 

Water being soft and strong reminds me of the soft power of storytelling. Here’s one story: 
before Los Angeles was even a word on a map, it was called Tovaangar, the territory of the Tongva, Chumash and Kizh, who were then enslaved to build the San Gabriel Mission and San Fernando Mission. It may be unsettling to realize but urban areas that have become so ingrained in our collective consciousness as “American” were once native land, too.

📍Chumash, Kizh, Fernandeño Tataviam, Micqanaqa’n and Tongva land
📍Support and donate to @tongva.land (Tongva Taraxat Paxaavxa Conservancy) a Tongva led land conservancy in Tovaangar where land has returned to their hands for the first time.

Ashima Shiraishi - 8.6K Likes - A whole lotta punting on this one. It’s funny how much I love the process of being consumed by a boulder problem that I even enjoy the part where I fall off of the last moves 5 times in a row and feel utterly devastated hahaha. It’s not always the case, but I love the invigorating sensation that comes only when you’re in a place of defeat. 

What a pleasure it was to enjoy the rocks, streams and views for a few days in Payahuunadü, ‘the land of flowing water’, on Paiute and Shoshone land. 🔝 soon, hopefully. Till then, it’s time to train for the Lead World Cups in 🇫🇷 ! @cheynacarr @noahsahady pics.
