I fell in love with climbing 5 years ago in the Summer of 2012 at my university’s rock wall and have been obsessed ever since. I’m based in Southern California where my primary stomping grounds are Bishop, CA and Black Mountain, CA but climbing has made me travel a decent amount – with my favorite destinations thus far being Squamish in British Columbia, the Colorado Front Range, and Geyikbayiri in Antalya, Turkey. Consistently finding myself in beautiful places with beautiful people has me doing a fair bit of photography as well. Check me out on instagram and hopefully see you out at the boulders!
