Where is your favourite climbing area?
Squamish. Is. The. Best.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Playing pool and poker with friends are probably some of my favourite pastime activities.
What are you working on for this competition season?
I’m currently working towards a spot on the Canadian national team!
What’s your favourite book?

What’s your favourite style of climbing? Least favourite?
I love to hate slab climbing… It’s my favorite style to work on even though it is my weakest style. My least favourite style would have to be dynos because I have chicken legs.
