The adrenaline and pure joy that comes from the sport is something I have never felt about anything else in my life.
1. What do you do when you are not climbing? (Other hobbies/ sports)
When I am not climbing, I love to eat different foods, hang out with my friends/family, and play with my dogs.
2. If you had to name one thing that gets you totally psyched about climbing, what would that be?
Remembering the rush of adrenaline I get when I send a long-time project and conquering a goal gets me psyched about climbing.
3. What is the most memorable climb/ boulder problem that you have ever completed or attempted?
The most memorable boulder I climbed was in the gym, it was a V9 boulder I had been working on for a while, when I went to give it my last try of the day I was able to send it.
4. Do you have any ongoing projects that are just killing you?
I haven’t been to the Red in a while and there was this one route in Muir Valley that I would love to go back and send.
5. If you never discovered climbing, what would you be doing now?
It’s hard to imagine myself doing anything other than climbing, however I would maybe try volleyball.
6. Favorite music to send to!?
My coach got me hooked on Macklemore while training so it would have to be Macklemore while sending.
7. Climber that you most look up to?
I come in at a towering 5”1’ so any short female like Brooke Raboutou and Oriane Bertone are inspiring to watch.
8. Top 3 Climbing locations?
Red River Gorge, Smith Rock, Hoosier Heights (home gym)
9. Why do you climb?
I climb because I love it, and it is a freeing and hard challenge! The adrenaline and pure joy that comes from the sport is something I have never felt about anything else in my life.
