What has scared or intimidated you as a mountain athlete?
Lightning! You never know how fast it will creep up on you!

What would your adventure partners be most surprised to learn about you from before the time when they met you?
That I’m deathly afraid of lightning!

What are your top 5 all-­time favorite pieces of CAMP equipment?

1. Lightweight jacket
2. Light Race pack
3. Racing climbing skins
4. Lightweight pants
5. Climbing helmet

Why are you a CAMP athlete?
I am a ski mountaineer in the winter, competing in Ski races throughout Colorado, New Mexico, and other parts of the country, some times even the world. These races require lightweight gear to keep you speedy, but gear that is reliable and will help make me the best athlete I can be. For every skimo race, we are required to have certain gear, and of course, the lighter the better. The CAMP pack can hold all the necessary gear I need, including skins, a harness, via ferrata, lightweight jacket and pants, and hydration. They also have a skin suit, that fits well, and has the necessary components I need when in race mode.
