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

• I started climbing fairly recently (2013) so my climbing experiences aren't that long of a list.

• When I first started, I would go to my local gym on Tuesdays and I would see 5 and 6 year olds racing up V7's like it was no big deal. Other people would always talk about the legendary Zero Gravity kids who would show up one day and complete all the routes. I was, meanwhile, struggling to climb V3's and was frustrated by my lack of progress. 

• I joined Zero Gravity to get better at climbing and I can say that the results are visible. I have progressed from V3's to V6's and a few V7's in a couple months. I also started out top roping on 5.10's. I can now climb 5.12a's and have also learned how to lead climb.

• Zero Gravity had taught me how to train for progress and has improved my climbing vastly. 

 

Favorite place to climb/travel:

• Since I started climbing fairly recently, the places I've climbed is a fairly short list. Right now, my favorite place to climb is definitely my home gym: the Diablo Rock Gym or the DRG. I know the walls very well and have a general idea of what type of moves the route-setters put at each location. The DRG also has an amazing community and several of my favorite people to climb with.
