About Chelsea

Chelsea started climbing 20 years ago.  First she was primarily a competitor, but still climbed both Half Dome and the Nose of El Cap by the age of 16.  She was a member of the US Climbing team for sport climbing + bouldering for a lot of years as both a youth and an adult. Chelsea also started coaching at the age of 17 and was an assistant coach for the Youth US Climbing team for 4 years. She has been focused on expanding her skills as an all around climber and now she loves both sport, bouldering, trad, multi pitch and ice climbing. Currently she focuses on climbing outdoors, sharing her knowledge for the sport through clinics nation wide. Chelsea graduated in 2012 from CU Boulder and is currently back taking classes.
