Bio:

Age: 18

Primary Gym: Berkeley Ironworks 

Number of Years Climbing: 12 Years

Number of Years on Zero Gravity: 10 Years

 

Memorable Achievements:

• Most of my most memorable achievements have been in competitions. The biggest one is winning the 2009 Bouldering National Championship. Since then, I've had ups and downs in competition climbing and my most memorable achievements have become more from the amount of fun I have with the sport.

• One of my favorite moments I've had from my experiences with outdoor climbing is when I sent Deliverance, a 5.12d in Maple Canyon on one of my first ever trips outside; it was so exciting!

 

Why you love to climb and what Zero Gravity means to you:

• I love rock climbing! It is the only sport I have ever played, and Zero Gravity is the only team I have ever been a part of. I own such a tremendous portion of my life to the climbing community, and this team; everything I've done with climbing has played an extremely important role in who I am today. Without it, I would not be nearly as stubborn, tenacious, or driven as I am - not just with this sport, but with everything I do in life. 

 

Favorite place to climb/travel:

• Bishop, CA and Maple Canyon, UT
