Competition 

When I first started climbing I was 15 and part of a climbing team in New England, it was a youth team and mostly focused on competitions. My first comp happened to be a lead comp and at the time, I had only top-roped. But, I was taught in isolation (by my competitors) how to lead climb.  After 3 years of climbing outside, training and competition, I decided to stop climbing altogether and pursue becoming a Licensed Electrician for 5+ years. When I started climbing again at the age of 24, I chose to compete and got hooked. It's been part of my climbing since day one and still currently is a big part my journey.
