Biographie

I am a 30 year old climber and routesetter currently living in Boulder, Colorado. I have been climbing for 14 years and setting for 13. I earned a creative writing degree at CU Boulder, and I get by with a combination of writing (and occasionally taking photos) for climbing magazines, websites, and blogs, working the desk at the Spot Gym in Boulder, and routesetting, both for the Spot and for competitions (which have included ABS/USA Climbing Junior Nationals and the Mammut Bouldering Championships). In my spare time (ha!), I go climbing outdoors, work on my several different book projects, and bake cookies.

Some of my favorite places to go on climbing trips are Smith Rocks, Squamish, Yosemite, Bishop, and Fontainebleau. I also enjoy Mount Evans, Rocky Mountain National Park, Hueco, Donner Summit, and sometimes even Rifle. In the future I hope to go back to Switzerland and spend more time in France. I also want to visit the Maldives. Some day...
