Bio: I've been climbing since 2010. As a Deaf AMGA member, I provide most of my instruction in American Sign Language (ASL) and most of my guiding has been with the Deaf community. Currently, I work for Sportrock, providing outdoor guiding at Carderock, MD, Great Falls, VA, and Seneca Rocks, WV. I also work at Earth Treks, teaching indoor climbing courses. I'm a co-author of the Rakkup guidebook for Carderock, MD (https://rakkup.com/guidebooks/carderock-climbing/).
