Climbing

Climbing quickly becomes an obsession for many who try it, and as a senior at Dartmouth, I caught the bug. Bouldering challenges you at your physical limits, trad climbing lends the adventure, and sport climbing pushes your mental game. All climbing challenges your problem solving skills. I love it for these reasons and because it has taken me to many beautiful places, introduced me to many of my closest friends (including my fiance!), and enabled me to pump out more pull ups than I ever thought I could do.

Higher Cathedral Spire

That's my fiance, Jose! He is my favorite climbing buddy and, lately, also my favorite rope gun.
