In Elaine-Claire’s words
How did you get started in the world of climbing?
My first time climbing was on a date, I remember being super tired after having worked all night at a bar and wanting to cancel, but feeling bad to do so last minute. So I went despite feeling super tired. But as soon as I entered the climbing gym I was lifted up by the vibe and the energy and got hooked immediately.
If you had to pick one outdoor climbing spot for life, where is it and what makes the landscape there so meaningful to you?
I feel like I have not seen enough outdoor climbing spots to be in a position to choose for life.
Any tips, tricks, or insights you've gained from your climbing experiences?
When you feel like you hit a plateau or get stuck feeling frustrated while chasing a goal of yours, remember why you started climbing. Remember it’s supposed to be fun and make you feel good.
Who is your biggest inspiration in the climbing world, and why?
Lynn Hill, because she is an absolute badass and already pushed patriarchal boundaries way back!
Looking ahead, what is one major climbing goal, dream route, or trip you are currently chasing?
At the moment I am still in the recovery process of an ankle ligament rupture that happened 5 months ago, so right now my focus is on healing and getting back in shape.
