What is your favourite style of climbing? Least favourite?
The steeper the better! I love heel hooks and I get to do this more in roofs.
Least favourite? Anything and everything related to slab.
If you were a tree, what tree would you be?
A Christmas tree, bringing the joy and happiness ❤️
What do you do in your spare time?
I am a student at Emily Carr in Interaction Design. So I spend a lot of time doing homework or procrastinating by watching too much Netflix…
What inspires you and your climbing?
Discovering new climbing areas! I am looking forward to spending a good chunk of time just exploring and traveling in the van and see what we can find!
Where is the most interesting place you’ve ever climbed?
I competed in Cali, Columbia in 2013 for the World Games and that was probably the coolest climbing experience I’ve ever had!
If we’re taking it outside, I have been to Ceuse, France and the heucos are huge… You can fit your entire leg in there!
