ABOUT:

Originally from Atlanta, I moved to Las Vegas to be a desert dweller 6 years ago and am in love with the climbing here. I am passionate about pushing my limits and pursuing the absolute best that I can be at climbing. La Sportiva shoes truly enable me to do so--they fit like a glove and allow me to have the most precise and technical footwork on any climb.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Sep 2022 | "End of Days" (5.13d) Mount Charleston, NV. A mega long, technical endurance beast I never thought I would be able to climb!

Nov 2019 | "Magnum Opus" (5.13c) The Grail, NV. My first of the grade several years ago! I had only ever 2-hung the route. I decided to take my draws down, but then surprised myself with a send on the way up to retrieve them! It was really unexpected and special.

Apr 2022 | "Pucker" (5.13c) The Cathedral, Utah. When I started trying this route, I was testing the limits of my own body and relationship to food. Turns out, lighter isn't better.

May 2022 | "Crew Dragon" (5.13c) Mount Potosi, NV. A long, beautiful endurance fest of a route guarded by a 90 minute hike straight up the mountain in the desert sun. I had to build an incredible amount of fitness for this one--and very intentionally fuel my body in order to do so!

"Nothing Shocking" (5.13a) Red Rock Canyon, NV. Not my hardest send, but this one had a heart-breaker crux at the top that really had my number. It was more of a mental & emotional accomplishment to stick with this one and see it through.
