“My parents signed me up for climbing at age 8 because I loved climbing trees, like most kids do. Today I mostly love climbing on climbing walls and cliffs.

It was by passing this passion on to many friends around me that I realised I enjoy teaching climbing as much as doing it myself.

My dream boulder? A long granite slab with tiny hand and foot holds, all about balance and finesse.

I also do a lot of lead climbing in the gym where I started climbing as a kid. Now I set the new routes there, and I completed instructor training there.”
