Burnt 8A (+) and Lethal Design 8A+ by Sera Gearhart
What is your climbing background?
I've been climbing for 15 years (!!). I grew up doing the competition circuit and started climbing outside more in college. I work full time remote and have been travelling with my partner (Taylor McNeill) since the fall!
How much do you train/climb per week?
I don't train at all right now, but I climb outside probably 4 days a week (as much as I can without losing all my skin).
