I never grew out of that childhood phase where you want to climb on everything that you see! I started with some easy free climbing out west in Utah and Colorado some years ago but hadn’t had any formal training. I was honored to have private guided instruction from Judith Spancken on multi-pitch sport climbing in the south of France in 2018 and have since spent time in the indoor rock wall, working on efficiency of movement. Aside from instruction given during many of my larger mountain expeditions, I have had dedicated ice climbing and mixed climbing training in Ouray, Colorado in 2016 and in 2019. I am still very new to the sport and will always be learning!
