I haven’t climbed as much lately as I like, bit I’m leaving tomorrow evening for almost a week at el Potrero Chico. I couldn’t be more excited! Has anyone climbed Estrellita before? It’ll be my biggest climb yet with 12 pitches and 1200ft!

Pausing my regular outdoor adventure shit for a very important announcement!🎸🎼🥁🎷🎤

I don’t gush about this kid enough. He has an album that was just released on Spotify and be prepared, it’s going to be shared everywhere. He did all the instruments, recorded and mixed the songs. SO proud.

On top of that he’s at ASU majoring in astronautical engineering. Outside of that, he’s just an amazing human being that I actually like hanging out with ❤️

Please share so he can earn a few pennies from Spotify!

Link to his album in my bio.
(Second photo is his album cover)

Spent a morning practicing multi-pitches, rope management and a bit of self rescue. We have to be ready for that EPC trip coming up!

Loved this area and the views. New favorite little climbing crag.

It’s crazy to think that climbing is a relatively new passion (less than 3 years). Can’t imagine my life without it now!

I’ve decided I want to live amongst the Redwoods.

I spent 5 days with amazing women on our @womenwhoexplore Redwoods Getaway. Doing the trips reminds me why I got started with WWE in the first place. Gathering women to adventure in magical places has its own kind of energy, entirely different from any other trips I go on. I arrived home exhausted, but very full of good juju feelings.

This is 40.

It’s feeling physically stronger than ever while experiencing more aches and pains. It’s saying yes way more but with the confidence to say no when needed. It’s feeling more alive while also feeling more tired.

My 30s were awesome and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little sad to see them go. My 40s though, I’ve started them off BIG. Here’s to a new decade of epic adventures.

11 days adventuring, 8 days backpacking, 80+ miles logged, bazillion ft elevation gain, 12 blisters.

This is precisely how I wanted to spend my 40th birthday. Technically it’s still in a couple weeks, but I’m embracing the milestone early. Feeling exhausted, but happy and strong.

I knew Alabama Hills would be magic to me before I

I knew Alabama Hills would be magic to me before I ever even set foot on the land. The ground is sacred to many people and I completely understand why. Climbing in January definitely isn’t prime season, but it’s the time I had and it was incredibly peaceful (and freezing 🥶).

I have been itching to go back and share my love of this area with friends so I’m SUPER excited to share this trip that I’m leading in October with @womenwhoexplore

We are working with @whitney_base_camp_climbing to teach basic intro to climbing and morning yoga. Come with some or no experience! It’s going to be a weekend to remember spent with amazing women. I have the link in my bio if you’re interested in booking or want more info. Feel free to DM with any questions! October 7-10, 2021.

This is our “we should be influencers” awkward posing. Something tells me that we didn’t quite nail it 😂

I had such a hard time wrapping my head around the size of Rainier. So amazing. Wonderland Trail, you’re now on my to do list!
