This has been a long time coming... But it's a story that I felt should be told. When I was 13, as a youth climber, I put a lot of internal pressure on myself. Not just to climb well... But for other people to see me as a good climber. This pressure put me in a dark place and I ended up cheating in a Regional competition to get to Nationals. I didn't trust myself to get there on my own, and I cared so much about how others saw me. ?
I continued to cheat until I got caught in a separate event, a few months later. It was one of the worst times in my life but I am extremely glad it happened. I wouldn't be the climber I am today if I had stayed in that dark place. ?
I worked on my story during the @rockandicemag Writing Symposium, and am happy to say it was published in this month's issue. It has taken me a long time to be able to talk about what I did... But I wanted to finally share my experience in the hopes of reaching anyone who feels/has felt the same in their climbing. Feeling the need to lie or cheat is a hard position to be in (I understand!) and there's no reason for it. It's easy to get caught up in validation from others. But #climbing is selfishly-beautiful in that sense... In the end, you can only climb for yourself. ?
Pick up this month's @rockandicemag for the full story. I welcome any questions or experiences that relate to it. I only ask that you read the full article before making any judgements. Big thanks to the R&I editors Duane Raleigh, @johnloellong, Alison Osius, Jeff Jackson, and @adidasoutdoor for giving me the opportunity, encouragement, and platform to share what I went through. In learning the hard way, I now hope to teach others so they don't have to.
