Personal information:
I was a late bloomer to rock climbing. I started climbing when I was 27 and did not take it too seriously until my 30's. I am a musician as well, and I have played venues all over the US. I was on the record label Gig Records a few years back, but my dream was to record and produce on my own. I spent a year writing and producing my last cd Venus on which I played all instruments. Life time goal #1 accomplished. Next........
When did you first get involved in Climbing?
A boyfriend of mine took me out climbing in Jackson Hole, WY about 12 years ago. I knew instantly that this was the sport for me. The rest is history.
What are some of your goals in Climbing?
To be a better onsight climber and to be a better crack climber
Who has been an idol or mentor for you in your Climbing?
People like Bill Ohran, Todd Perkins, Bill Boyle and Jeff Pedersen. They unselfishly devote their time, money and pure hard labor into developing routes for all to enjoy.
I am also inspired by my own friends. These bitches TRY HARD! Lauren Lee and Ellen Powick......you are my heroes!
Other sponsors:
Lauren Lee (she gives me all of her hand-me-downs)
