LIBBY KASMER


 I love climbing for so many reasons! It almost feels as if it gives me purpose. It gives me something to constantly work on and improve on but also challenges me physically and mentally. Life throws twists and turns, but climbing is a constant in my life, and I've met the most wonderful community and life partner through it. I've been climbing on and off for 9 or so years, more seriously for the past 4-5 years.

Recent/favorite ascents: Gurkha Knive V9, Renaissance Man V9, Schist Cave Center V10, Armour stand V8/9, Spitting Venom V8/9, The Flu V8-, Hamtaro V8, Last Dance V9

WHAT’S NEW WITH LIBBY?

For the last 8 or so months my husband, two dogs and I were fortunate enough to live out of our camper and climb around the West Coast. We started in Leavenworth, WA where I accomplished my first V10. Since then, I had the best season of my life last fall. This spring has been a bit rockier but the stoke is high, and I’ll forever appreciate this once in a lifetime opportunity I’ve had. I look forward to coming home soon and starting up training again for the fall season
