It's a challenge, every route is a new challenge. Climbing has taught me focus and perseverance. It's where I am every chance I can get.

hmmmm...There are so many!! I have ton of great climbing friends. The memory that comes to mind first is an afternoon I went out with my friend Will Buckman, we climbed a route called Royal Flush. It was an awesome climb very challenging,fun, traditional route. Me, being blonde, I left behind the nut tool and I came to a place in the route where BJ had made a great placement, so great the nut didn't want to budge out of that place. placement. I worked it for awhile, but to no avail, the nut would not budge! At that point I thought to myself I have to do something to get it out, can't leave a trace you know, and I remembered my pocket knife was in my pocket, handy. So I carefully dug it out and worked the nut out of its grand placement! MacGuyver, thats my other name! Then we got to the top, the guide book said that there was a walk off. Not really, I think the author might have been joking. So we carefully, spotting one another, climbed down the back side of the route. It was an interesting day, but tons of fun Thanks Will!
