Just saw these awesome photos from our Joshua Tree Yoga & Climbing Retreat for the first time…such good times hanging with ladies, pushing one another, but also, respecting each others boundaries/fears/insecurities on the rock. So proud to facilitate these amazing weekends of sisterhood:)

I’ve been climbing for over 24 years and I have over 30 years of climbing experience😅.
I’ve been guiding for over 10!
Wow, am I getting old?

I’m a certified Rock Guide with the and I’ve climbed sport, trad and big walls around the world. I’ve done first ascents in Patagonia, British Columbia and here in my backyard, the Sierra Nevada.
I love teaching others and over my years of guiding I’ve become an expert teacher.
I push my students towards self sufficiency so that they can accomplish their goals, big and small.

About a year ago…such a great experience working for this show. Using all the skills that guiding, big-walling, international expeditions and working with diverse backgrounds of people has taught me over the last two decades. Just reminiscing on all the fun and wild times with this awesome crew!!

Jan 30th deadline!!!

Policy proposals are now being considered by the National Park Service (NPS) and US Forest Service (USFS) that threaten to fundamentally change the way rock climbing is managed. A comment period for these proposals has recently been extended to January 30.

It is important that climbers make our presence known and kindly share our perspectives to help non-climbing land managers better understand what we do and how we do it, especially when it comes to climbing in wilderness areas. That’s why Access Fund and the AAC hosted a webinar last night, January 11, to explain the nuances of the situation and what is at stake.

These bolts, some old, some new, enabled the author to set up a comfortable bivy during a solo ascent in Zion National Park last February. The following afternoon, these same bolts facilitated a rappel just before a heavy snowstorm arrived. [Photo] Derek Franz

Lots of firsts this week! First time taking Mason bouldering, leading again after a year +, first time guiding again, hanging with old friends for the first time with my son, and, first time backing off a 5.7 because this bug scared the crap out of me!! All in all, great week as I re-learn how to go about my “normal” life as a parent;) Thanks for all the support

Climbing partnerships are crucial for having the most fun while rock climbing.
That’s why, for the next 30 days, I’m offering a 10% discount to everyone who signs up for my clinics with a friend!
Learn new climbing skills with an old friend. Sign up together and I’ll give you 10% off the price of the clinic.
This applies to all my Rock Clinics for the rest of this Spring and Summer, if you sign up before June 15.
(I am still working out how to include the discount on my website, for now just sign up and tell me who your taking the clinic with and I’ll refund you both the %10)(both people must pay before I refund the %10).
Did I mention that you’ll also get a free climbing pack? Big thanks to for hooking it up!

Watching the kids crushing routes is always fun…but watching them just be kids is why I love summer camp!!
Check out our week long, overnight climbing camp for your kiddo this July (link in bio). Lots of climbing, but also plenty of time for kids to be kids in the most beautiful setting imaginable;)
