In 2012, @alexhonnold did the first ascent of a 50ft boulder in the Beehive area of the Buttermilks. @lonniekkauk did the second ascent in 2013 followed by @ethan_pringle and @_steven_roth in 2014, @fabi_buhl in 2017, and @rockninja_8a in 2018. Two days ago, on March 18th 2019, I climbed the lucky 7th ascent of Too Big To Flail (V10/5.13d).
.
I’m still processing the experience and will share a more complete story later. For now I am simply, joyously grateful.
.
@james_lucas, @oceangoingmonkey, and @simoore: you guys hiked out SO many pads and helped maintain the serene atmosphere I wanted for this climb. It wouldn’t have come together without your help.
.
To the Bishop locals who donated pads: @andyliu84, @hostelcaliforniabishop, @katielambert, @benjaminditto, and the Zoo. You guys rock. I thankfully didn’t end up needing them but they sure were nice 😜
.
And shoutout to @climberchica for the belay on last years’ trip when all the beta fell into place. It was a highlight of this whole journey.
.
The endeavor of working and climbing Too Big really does take a village, and I appreciate everyone’s help from the bottom of my heart 💛🧡🖤 Thank you thank you thank you.

It’s settling in. This past weekend at the 2024 Annual Benefit Dinner, I transitioned from VP to President of the Board of Directors of the @americanalpine Club. I follow in the footsteps of outgoing President @grahamzimmerman and many inspiring leaders before him. I am the third female President behind Alison Osius (last slide 🤩) and Deanne Buck; I am also the youngest.
For me, being President of the Board means both having a vision and seeing that vision through by supporting the people that make it all happen. The Board is a group of talented, thoughtful individuals donating their time in pursuit of meaningful impact. The Club is in excellent hands under our Executive Director Ben Gabriel and dedicated staff. Our members: past, present, and future, are the catalysts for action and the reason we pursue a community of thriving climbers.
My personal vision for the American Alpine Club is conversation, connection, and storytelling. The spirit of the mountains, the spirit of rock – that unyielding force demanding adaptation from anyone who aspires to ascend its face – is the foundation upon which the Club is built. It’s now time to grow from that foundation and meet the needs of our members and the climbing community at large. Change is inevitable; in order to embrace change, we will draw on our history to build new stories of the future.
As I step into this new role as President I am both humbled by, and eager for, the opportunity to help lead the American Alpine Club. The future of climbing is brilliantly expansive. We will let our stories shape that future and speak for themselves.
TLDR; you’ll be seeing a lot more about @americanalpine from here on out ❤️ but don’t worry, I’m still a climber by trade. Truly, heartfelt thanks to my sponsors for supporting me in this important work, as well as my climbing!

China Beach: Riding The Wave 🌊 is now live on @mellowclimbing 🥹
What a journey. Thankful for the many folks who contributed to this experience (full list in the credits!) but I’m especially grateful to @jordi.llauvi for taking on the project and telling the story of this dream line. China Beach stands as one of my most emotionally significant sends and trusting Jordi with the process was the exact right step. Muchas muchas gracias mi amigo ☺️🙏🏼
But don’t take my word for it; go see for yourself! Link in bio ⬆️ Big thanks as well to @thenorthface and @scarpana for making it all possible. I wouldn’t be able to chase these dreams without their support.
From bottom of my heart 💛

Punted off The Grinch Stand, had my version of a mini-wobbler, then sent first go of the day on the third sesh. This climb suited my impinged shoulder because I could pull straight up the vertical face – steep, lateral movements are still a bit painful but it’s getting better every day! Big thanks to my care team: @scottthehut for acupuncture, @dr.hoootenannie & @theclimbclinic for PT, and @latticetraining for flexible programming around my injuries 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 and @jeffjhsu for the spots and project motivation!
In classic fashion I had to figure out different beta for myself; felt like solid V11 this way?
Stoked to finish off this side projie before heading to LA for @americanalpine’s Annual Benefit Dinner 🥳🥳 Exciting things on the horizon!
As always, cheers to the gear that makes it all happen:

The Air Up There (V7) – a life lister I never got around to in the colder months, but with spring blooms new inspiration. Dialed in beta on a rope before returning with pads. Challenge level ☑️ within my range, body aligned with mind. Heart 🤍 full with friend support. A pretty perfect evening all around.

A couple months ago I spent some time in Hawaii getting to know the science and application of @freaksofnature___ – high-tech skincare for the outdoor athlete, inspired by Mother Nature’s oddities. Their sunscreen and moisturizer is formulated with the elements in mind, from wind to snow to sun to pollution, and protects the microbiome with clean ingredients.
As a climber, it’s important that my skincare is good for the planet and also good for my sport. I applied @freaksofnature___ sunscreen throughout my sessions without any residue or greasiness after rinsing. The moisturizer is similar; it went on smooth and felt good the entire day.
I’m excited to partner with @freaksofnature___ alongside @kellyslater and @oceanramsey – two folks who know better than most how important skincare is! Excited to roll out more content from my trip soon 😊

We are stoked to welcome @sheneenagins as the new AAC Board President.
We are so grateful for the time dedicated by @grahamzimmerman and excited to transition into this new chapter! ⛰️
