I was first exposed to climbing when I moved to the US in 95 and was lucky enough to have been dragged along to some amazing locations. My room mates brother was a diehard climber who lived in his car at Hueco and Smith Rocks. He took me bouldering in Little Cottonwood Canyon one day and I really enjoyed it so on the way back we popped into REI and I picked up some hightop scarpas... He took me climbing all over Utah: AF Canyon, St George, Logan Canyon, LCC, BCC... I thought it was because of my awesome accent but I now realize I was his belay slave.

Another friend would take me to Smith Rocks during our Summer boarding camps at Mt Hood, Oregon. And than when I worked on the ranches in La Sal (just below Moab Ut) and in Wyoming, I got to play in Zion, all around Moab and Vedauwoo

I enjoyed the experiences though I had boarding running through my veins and it wasn't until a year and a half ago I met up with an old friends hubby and caught the itch to climb everything.

I like climbing!
