Biography
I started climbing at 12 years old, focusing on competition into my early twenties, before moving West for more mountainous terrain. I developed my outdoor resume by traveling to world-class areas in the United States, Switzerland, South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. After accomplishing bouldering grades upwards of V13, I shifted my attention towards the mental style of the sport. I have bouldered 30-50ft formations such as Evilution Direct (V11), Ambrosia (V11), and Too Big to Flail (V10) in Bishop, CA. I also expanded into traditional climbing after my first visit to Yosemite, testing myself on The Final Frontier (5.13b) on Fifi Buttress and Father Time (5.13b) on Middle Cathedral. I seek a balance between hard bouldering, alpine trad, and keeping up with my studies at the University of Colorado where I am majoring in Communication and Leadership Management. In my spare time, I enjoy a good cup of coffee and the latest issue of the New Yorker.
