Rock climbing
I Have been involved in Rock climbing for over 10 years starting in 2014 after leaving my previous sport of competitive gymnastics. I Quickly became highly involved in the sport, Recreating, working, and competing in the community. I had the opportunity early on to explore outdoor climbing in vancouver and squamish, which has been my primary obsession for the past 8 years. In that time I Have climbed all around the world in places such as France, Spain, and much of the west coast of North-America, with my commitment and passion for the sport continually growing.
