About Me

  • Gender Female
  • About me I'm a climbing athlete who competes and trains out of Calgary Climbing Centre. I first started climbing in 2002, when a friend suggested I try it out. I've been competing in the TourdeBloc competitions, Canada's nationally sanctioned comps, since about 2006. In 2012, I was offered my first opportunity to compete in the Bouldering World Cups and went to Teva Mountain Games.
