Kathy Engh, pictured, believes sometimes you find something you’re just meant to do. For her, that’s mountain climbing. “I took a class with Spokane Mountaineers last year,” she said. “I just fell in love with it.” The 44-year-old said she enjoys the physical and mental challenge. “It’s hard work – I have to give it everything I have.” But she finds the rewards unparalleled. Recently, she returned from an expedition to Mount Rainier that coupled the exhilaration of a climb with the passion of a higher purpose. From July 8 to 10, Engh and 10 other climbers participated in the annual Climb to Conquer SADS (Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes). Engh was the only woman on the trip and one of the eight climbers who summited/ Cindy Hval , SR’s Washington Voices. More here .
