Welcome Back
Hello all!
It’s been quite a while, hasn’t it? My site has been down for a long while due to me getting busy with life and not keeping up with it, but now we’re back! I’m working on improving the site, but I’ll be posting blogs more consistently again.

- I went to Laval, France and won that World Cup.
- I continued my circus training, and did a few shows at STREB.
In 2026 (so far):

- I completed my first tour with Omnium.
- I went to Austria again and won that World Cup
- The Belgian team held a competition where paraclimbers could compete in lead, bouldering, or speed climbing. I did the lead and the bouldering, but decided not to try my hand at the speed climbing. Not this time, at least…
- And lastly, for now, I’m starting to do joint intro climbing classes with Kareemah Batts (Founder of Adaptive Climbing Group and current USAC Athlete)
