ABOUT:

Becca grew up in the small mountain town of Canmore, AB and started climbing 16 years ago at the V'sion Climbing Gym. She now lives in North Vancouver, BC where she spends the majority of her time training for international competitions and working/volunteering in the mental health field. Becca spends her spare time where she is happiest, in the mountains. Whether it is pushing herself on difficult outdoor sport climbs, getting scared on 5.8 trad, trail running or cross-country skiing, she loves the feeling of calm and fulfilment that being in nature provides.
