Since starting my journey in 2017, I've strived to become an all-around good climber. Whether it's bouldering, sport, trad, or mountaineering, I've built enough experience in each to feel like I can finally give back to the community. My goal in mentoring is to help mitigate some the barriers I faced when starting, including the cost of gear and courses, the struggle to develop safe partnerships, sexism, gatekeeping, and lacking clear growth pathways.
