Told through a series of interviews, images and anecdotes. É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ite is a personal story documenting my return to the sport of climbing and the people and places that influenced me along the way.

É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ite.

As a É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ite, climbing has been a part of my life and the É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ Community for as long I can remember. In my youth, I was a part of team ABC and competed in indoor climbing for over five years. By age sixteen, my motivation to compete had begun to dwindle and as a result I made the difficult decision to hang up the climbing shoes to focus on snowboarding. Five years later, I made my return to the sport with help of some newfound friends and began documenting the places and people who reinspired my passion to climb. The É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ite project is personal reflection of images, interviews and anecdotes that tell my story through the perspective of my hometown.
