Climbing and Leadership Philosophy: Ed Viesturs summed up the crux of my climbing philosophy when he said, “getting to the top is optional but getting down is mandatory.” I like to have fun and challenge myself. I enjoy working with people new to the sport and very experienced climbers alike. Each person has something that they can contribute to the climb party, and I can learn something from everyone.

Favorite Summit Treat: Breathtaking views from the summit

Personal Information: When I’m not climbing, I can be found practicing geology, cross-country or telemark skiing, hiking, gardening, or planning my next adventure
