Ada (they/them) has been climbing for almost their entire life and loves to share their passion with new climbers. They’ve been a climbing coach for four years and are in their second year of guiding.

They’re consistently their happiest when they’re lodged in an off-width or on top of a long multipitch route. Growing up in Northern California gave them a love for granite, from splitter Yosemite cracks to the chossy faces at Pinnacles, but they’ve learned to branch out and grow an appreciation for other types of rock.

Ada prioritizes making climbing an inclusive space to learn and grow. In their time off, they travel as a guide, working for affinity spaces like Women’s Wilderness and FlashFoxy.
