PERSONAL STATEMENT.

SAFETY

Taking only well calculated risks, safety is always my first priority.
My safety first approach begins long before the expedition itself by building a relationship with each climber to get to know their confidence level and goals upon consideration of committing to climbing together. I work with that to ensure each climber is fully prepared with a positive mindset before and throughout each expedition.
