ABOUT:

We live in Yosemite, CA. Love spending time in our favorite place in the world and discovering new nooks and crannies each day. I’ve never worn another pair of climbing shoes in my 25+ years of climbing, and the subtle technical granite of Yosemite is the perfect place to use them each day!

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

2000 | Free Climbing Lurking Fear
2005 | Free Climbing The Nose
2008 | Establishing Meltdown
2014 | Becoming a mom
2019 | Appreciating my body for more than just performance

Q+A: 

Who is your favorite climbing partner?

My husband. He’s patient and still makes me laugh.

What is your go-to hype song?  

I used to listen to songs, but now with a very curious six-year-old, any chance I get I prefer silence.

What was the first La Sportiva product you tried?

The purple Mythos!

Which charity/advocacy organizations do you support or belong to?

Access Fund, POW, Midwives for Black Lives.
