I
started climbing in 1998 and grew up on the RockSport
youth climbing team. I competed in the JCCA/USCCA/USA Climbing Northern
California Region placing 16th 2003 USCCA Nationals and 16th
2004 ABS Nationals. I
have extensive experience with competition rock climbing ranging from
climbing as a competitor, coaching, Route setting, and Forerunning. I am a USAC Level 1 certified Route
setter and a CWI certified instructor. I
am an ambassador to the sport of rock climbing by contributing to the local
climbing community through teaching clinics and youth programs. I
have helped to develop several bouldering areas by establishing first
ascents, building trails, and creating landings. I
have been fortunate to be a driving force in the bouldering development done
at Castle Peak, CA, The Sierra Buttes, CA, and Doyle, CA. Some
of my efforts have been published in the ÒCentral Washington BoulderingÓ
guide and the ÒBouldering Lake Tahoe – North/West Shore Edition.Ó I
am enthusiastic, a hard worker, and passionate about furthering the culture of
rock climbing. |
