Highlights
In Nina’s words
How did you get started in the world of climbing?
I got into climbing through my dad, who was a climber himself. He started taking me out to the crags when I was just 3 years old. I later joined a climbing club and spent a few years competing before shifting my focus to outdoor climbing.
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've learned a lot since I first started climbing (and I keep learning a lot everyday), but if there's one thing that really stands out, it's the importance of intention. Whatever you do, the energy, focus, and purpose you put into it can make the difference.
Any tips, tricks, or insights you've gained from your climbing experiences?
I've never been to Squamish, but that would probably be there. It seems like such an amazing place to climb, with everything from bouldering and sport climbing to trad and multi-pitch routes, all in one spot. Everything looks incredible, from the climbing itself to the landscapes and the people. It's got the whole package!
Who is your biggest inspiration in the climbing world, and why?
Female climbers, for sure! Janja Garnbret, Katie Lamb, Brooke Raboutou… all the women out there pushing the sport forward. They’re such an inspiration!
Looking ahead, what is one major climbing goal, dream route, or trip you are currently chasing?
I'd love to find an 8c that really inspires me and dedicates the time and energy it takes to make it happen!
