ABOUT ME

Squamish climbing, person climbing on granite rock, focused and training
MY MOTTO

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, AND WHATEVER YOU PUT YOURSELF UP TO YOU CAN DO.

HI! I'M SOPHIA

I'm a typical teenage girl who loves backpacking, climbing, writing long manuscripts, and school. I'm excited about hiking and alpine climbing, spending all day projecting in the gym, and writing the next blog post!

​

I live in beautiful Victoria BC with my family and two adorable pets, bossy cat Luna and hilarious doggie Iva. I'm obsessed with slab and anything crimpy, a summer day at the crag with my coach and best friends, or just hanging out together after bouldering competitions.

​

I believe in trying your hardest all the time, whether it's with attempting to ace a math test or sending that long-wanted outdoor 5.12d. Yes, I'm not always the best at climbing - but what matters if you love what you're doing or not. For me, it's not about if I got 2nd or last place on a comp or if I fell on the first move of my project - it's if I had fun and learned something new. 

​

Currently, I train 5 days a week in my home gym, and am just getting up to the V8 level with the help of my amazing coaches. I'm a big fan of outdoor sport  and multipitch climbing, and stoked on expanding my currently-minimal alpine bigwall experience. I've got big dreams of climbing alpine peaks all around the world and becoming the youngest person to free climb El Capitan, becoming a route setter, opening a climbing gym, and teaching kids my age all around the world all about my favourite sport. 

​

I'm also a very outdoorsy person, and spending time in the woods is my idea of a perfect weekend. I love enjoying nature the muddy, blue-skied, chalky way - by just getting out there into the wild!
