Carbondale photographer/director Tyler Stableford captured Boulder, Colorado Olympic climber Brooke Raboutou for Southwest Airlines Magazine’s latest cover story. Brooke will be competing for the USA in Tokyo this summer for the sport’s Olympic debut. Each country can qualify only two men and two women, — and only if that many actually succeed in the formidable qualifying competitions. Brooke, who’s a Colorado native living and training in Boulder, was the first American to qualify — a huge accomplishment at age 18.
