2019 Mammut Australian Open Lead, Speed, and Boulder Championships
Australian Nationals 2019 Often I write blogs to process; sometimes it’s just to recount what happened for those following my journey. This blog is a bit of both. Part of it is being written seven weeks after the fact (oh my gosh how has the time gone by so...World Climbing Championships 2019: Tokyo
In a word: relief. Relief that I can still perform. Relief that I don’t have to work myself to the bone to achieve (in fact, realising that I CAN’T achieve if I am burnt out). Relief that I am not alone. I arrived in Japan two weeks before the World...The Unbearable Lightness of Being
“The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only...OBN 2019: The process of processing
It’s been two weeks now since Open Boulder Nationals. Many people have come up to me this week, concerned about my wellbeing, considering the very vulnerable blog I wrote about my experience. Last week was a scheduled training break and I took full advantage of the...ROAR

Reflections 2018 and Looking Forward 2019
Reflections – 2018 Here’s what happened in brief: (TLDR – too long didn’t read) Times were tough. I learned a lot. If everyone who gave in 2018 gives the same amount again in 2019, my expenses will be covered. I can’t do it without you! I am looking...Create Your Own Reality
I have just finished my first Bouldering World Cup in four years. The standard of the climbers, and of the setting has gotten higher and so I am proud to feel like I am “keeping up”. Instead of the a debrief of the competition, I decided to write this blog on a new...Oceania Continental Climbing Championships 2017
Those of you who follow my blog will know that I was quite nervous about going to the Oceania Continental Climbing Championships. That it signified to me a very early step on my journey to the Olympics; that I was scared of being judged, and of being laughed at. Not...About Tiffany
Climbing serves all aspects of my well-being – physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. I would be a very different person without the amazing influence it has had on my life.
