BIOGRAPHY

My name is Tandia. I started climbing in 2015 but didn’t get seriously into climbing until 2017. Growing up, I tried many different sports, but none of them stuck with me. With climbing, it was completely different. It’s become a big part of my life and has clicked with me in a way that no other sport has. I love the feeling of being on a wall (preferably outside); for that moment, nothing else is relevant. I’m not thinking about any of my stresses or worries; it’s just me on the rock. Climbing is unique because it brings many different people together! The community is amazing and SO welcoming. It’s almost like a different world; anywhere you travel for climbing, there’s a little hub for climbers somewhere, and you automatically make friends for life. Right now, I’m climbing around the 11+ to 12- range. My personal goal is to be climbing 5.13’s consistently by the time I’m 30. Right now, I’m 25, so that means I have five years to reach my goal. I’m confident that I’ll make it happen!
