Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is one of my favorite hobbies. I love the physical and mental challenge it offers. Sending a problem requires problem solving and strong physical ability. It helps me stay healthy, de-stress, and spend time with friends both indoors and outdoors.
I climb primarily in two styles: bouldering and lead climbing.
- Bouldering involves climbing short, powerful sequences over pads.
- Lead climbing involves clipping into bolts with a rope as you ascend a taller wall or cliff.
Indoors, I love training on the Tension Board, where I’m currently working toward sending V9. Outside, I enjoy exploring new boulders and routes around the country whenever I have the chance.
