Mountaineering has profoundly shaped my life through incredible experiences in the great outdoors. This journey began with hiking trips through the stunning Catskills, traversing the Appalachian Trail, and exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Austrian and Swiss Alps. Then the Dolomiti mountains stand as the backdrop for some of my most exhilarating adventures, where I’ve led Level F Via Ferrata expeditions, scaling some of the most challenging and exposed routes. Next I am planning a trip to Mont Blanc or the Matterhorn, blending rock, ice, and snow climbing with altitude challenges.

Rock climbing has been a defining part of my life, offering challenges that test both physical strength and mental focus. From the classic routes at the Gunks in Upstate New York to the steep, scenic crags of the Red River Gorge, and the iconic cliffs across France, Italy, and Switzerland, each climb has pushed my limits and deepened my love for the sport. I've also tackled the stunning sandstone walls of Red Rocks, where every route brings a mix of thrill and strategy. Here, I share the experiences, challenges, and memorable moments from these diverse climbing destinations, each of which has shaped my journey on the wall.

On the wall, every hold counts. Training with my competitive bouldering team pushes me to redefine my limits, problem-solving through intricate routes where strength, technique, and focus converge. It's a sport where the smallest adjustments make the biggest difference, and every attempt is a chance to discover a new solution.
