Climbing is this lifestyle activity that really works every muscle in your body.

I really learned to approach climbing not just with a pure athletic mentality, but also to appreciate all these beautiful places we get to go to.

With climbing you can go to the most beautiful places on the planet and practice. Anywhere there is rock, you can climb.

I think I'm a pretty creative person. I love building things. I love working on my house. Landscaping, stuff like that.

I'm a rock climber. I really specialize in doing first ascents, and finding new routes outside, as opposed to doing competitions. I focus my energy on going out into nature and finding these new climbs. For me, it's not just this athletic pursuit - it's a really creative, artistic thing of finding these amazing formations out in nature, and mixing that with this high level of athleticism.

Climbing is an amazing, unique sport, and I want to share that with as many people as possible. I want to be an ambassador for the sport and raise the profile. I try to take advantage of any opportunity to share climbing with the world.

Every climb is different, has its own unique set of movements and body positions. Climbing and my appreciation for nature are totally intertwined.
