Still wrapping my heart around @thenorthface Athlete Summit ❤️ We gathered to discuss expeditions, projects, products, and brand goals but the most important conversations happened in-between: around the campfire, on the beach, at the crag, next to the ping pong table, during a 3am ocean swim. The people on this team are absolute forces of inspiration and determination while also navigating all that it means to be a human being in this heavy world. And it is only getting heavier.
I treasure these moments with a family of friends that I can turn to for both hard talks and easy laughter. Thanks for another year of love. #TNFAthleteSummit

My first visit to China left some big impressions. I’m Chinese on my mom’s side. Walking around Shanghai (where my grandmother was born) and climbing in Lijiang were equal parts a culture shock and a homecoming at the same time. Being around so many Chinese people, seeing Chinese athletes on the walls at @thenorthface offices, hearing Mandarin and Cantonese and so many different Asian dialects around me, feeling a sense of belonging even though I am still very much a bumbling American foreigner. I felt joy. I felt grief. I wish my Nen Nen and Yea Yea were still here… There’s a lot we don’t know about our family history, their stories. I’m sad about that and also happy that I get a chance to create my own story with China.
Incredibly grateful to @thenorthface @thenorthface_climb for making this trip happen. It was really fun traveling around with @nathaniel.coleman. Big thanks to Rex, Jonny, @andrea_chao_ @yuediaries @theclinic.international and all the climbers who shared their stoke with us. I am still processing this trip while already planning my return visit.
Xie xie! 🥹

Jai-oh! All gas! Come on! 😊 We sampled some local limestone in Lijiang before the @thenorthface Mountain Festival kicked off. Nice to swing through the mountain air.

Just a few 😮💨 of my falls off the crux of Wacka Flocka. This stab move is low-percentage and the couple moves after are still hard. I’ve felt close (linked from below where I’m falling all the way to the top like 7-8 times) but this move… this move from the bottom!! That’s pretty much how it goes. You stick it or you don’t. You keep it together or… not. I usually keep it together while projecting but this one definitely ripped some screams out of me after I’d already fallen 😅
I’m disappointed I couldn’t pull it off AND I’m also happy with the time and effort I squeezed into this route. It pulled me back into the canyon when I hadn’t even planned on getting an annual pass this year. Happy I still got a small season in with my favorite kneebarring, bloc-hugging, beta-obsessive community. Cheers to the catches, encouragement, and dance parties at the base of Projie Wall 💛
Now I’m off on a two-month travel bonanza! First stop ➡️ Shanghai, China 🇨🇳 Pretty excited for this next adventure but I’m already missing my Colorado fam. See ya on the other side of the world!

Fun slab from earlier this week in Shanghai 🇨🇳 I’ll be recovered from the jet lag just in time for departure 😅
