Total bad ass and one of the most under-rated climbers of her generation.

I'm interested in the story, but that typical Vimeo and YouTube twinkie music and flowers-in-the-wind video slo-mo crap gets painfully grating.

But she is beyond the real deal.

This wall featured in the bigwalls.net "mystery wall" contest. A beautiful piece of stone.

Pretty impressive Yosemite career (including FA), let alone her work in the big mountains..

Her "NO Support" style is both impressive and noteworthy.

A great video. She's putting into words something that is difficult to explain... and she's doing it in a very sympathetic no nonsense way...

Saw her speak at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Fest last night.

SUPER RAD.

52 days alone?
10 days straight without getting out of the portaledge during a single storm?
Rappelling through waterfalls?

In most of her selfies she has this intense thousand yard stare going on (see pic below) and when you listen to her story it's easy to hear why.

BAD ASS.

Something I noticed but didn't get to ask her about is that in all these pics where she's rapping she uses a big ol' Figure 8 instead of a Grigri or whatever. Interesting
