5 Outdoor Sports Athletes You Should Follow on Instagram

Following on to my recommended photographers to follow on Instagram post, I thought I’d also mention a few of the best outdoor sports athletes I have on my feed…

Melissa Arnot Reid – @melissaarnot 

Guide, athlete, adventurer

Melissa is a badass. She’s climbed Everest 6 times and is the first American woman to successfully summit and descend it without supplemental oxygen. She’s been a mountain guide since 2004 and co-founded The Juniper Fund, a resource to provide financial support to families of local workers killed in the mountains of Nepal. Her Instagram will fill you with inspiration to get out into the mountains more.
