About Me

I am a professional climber working for The North Face, Black Diamond, and La Sportiva. Traditional rock climbing is definitely where my heart lies, but I also enjoy getting out ice climbing, bouldering as well as sport climbing. My favorite outing is definitely adventure climbing. I love exploring new areas, new cultures, and seeing just what will “go”.
