1. What got you into climbing? A sense of adventure & the unknown. Moving through mountains, solving problems with my body & mind felt natural from the beginning. It became a place to challenge myself, build community, & understand who I am.
2. Is there any climb or route that you want to do? Absolutely. At this point, I’m less focused on checking things off a list and drawn to climbs that feel meaningful and worth growing into.
3. What has climbing taught you as a human? Patience, humility, resilience, & presence. It’s also taught me a lot about fear. When I can quiet it, I often see options I couldn’t see before.
4. When did you first start using Climb On!® Products? I first started using Climb On!® years ago, early in my climbing. I think I first came across it at the Granite Gripper, and I’ve been using it ever since. With all the rock, ice, dry tooling, training, and outdoor work I do, my hands take a lot of wear. Taking care of my skin became a simple but important part of staying healthy as an athlete.
5. How does the product help you in your sports? Climbing is extremely hard on the hands. If I don’t take care of my skin, it becomes a limiting factor. Climb On!® helps keep my skin healthy so I can recover and stay consistent. Running brings its own wear, especially on long trail days where feet take a beating.
6. What organizations do you support? USA Ice Climbing & the development of youth ice climbing in the U.S. since 2014, working as a coach/mentor/route setter to help athletes reach international competition.
7. Do you have any projects in the works? Right now, a major focus is to develop competitive ice climbing in the U.S. Beyond competition, I’m working on projects that connect climbing with mentorship, storytelling, mental health, and community. That work has also taken me internationally, including recent projects in places like Kenya and Bosnia. C.A.M.P. USA Outdoor Osprey Packs i
