Here are some awesome shots and a short recording of the crux from my qualifiers from 2025 Paraclimbing Nationals @pacificpipe in Oakland, Ca.

Pic descriptions
1-7: Wayne works his way through the 1st qualifiers route, focused, moving quick and hitting each hold precisely as needed before the slow traverse to the Slab section.
8: Wayne chalks up after getting through the delicate Slab section setting up for the dyno. He hits the dyno, gives 2 attempts on the next move which involves an agreesive frog move with the legs and a bad right crimp, and pumps off the wall.
9: Wayne is falling, mid air grabbing the rope with one hand and looking at the camera with his hair in the air. The camera catches Wayne still while the action shot makes the rest of the picture in motion.
10: Wayne does a princess wave at his friends and has a huge smile.
11: Wayne is happy and relieved the hardest climb is over. He is still being lowered.
12: Wayne is focused and looking ahead for the next moves on his second qualifiers route.
13: Results after first qualifiers route. I had gotten 2 moves further than the next competitor in my category ranking me first going into the second route.
14: Results after the 2nd qualifying route kept me in 1st place with a tie in points for the 2nd route with Riley.
15: Wayne takes a photo with one of his best training partners and friend @isabelbenvenuti as we both make into the Finals round.

Stop waiting to feel ready. Ready is not a feeling. It's a decision.

I photographed Cindy and Alan back in August for their City Hall wedding and fast forward 7 months later, we are here celebrating their marriage with family and friends! We were a big nervous about the rain but we were fortunate to have a little break with the prettiest light along the Golden Gate Bridge! Congratulations Cindy and Alan! Thank you so much for having me again!! ❤️❤️❤️ // photo: @jasmineleephoto venue: @wedgewood.goldengateclub Makeup Artist: @cherivoyage Hair Stylist: Candy Zhu Invites: @zazzle Dress: @bhldn #jasmineleephotography

Mount Ritter.

A wonderful time with this crew but sadly we did not summit due to changing weather conditions. A smart decision by @aldiggitythai & @pethebi .

The challenges and failures remind me why mountaineering is so tough. But also reminds me why I love it so much.

High Sierra Trail photo dump.

70+ miles in 5 days, all the way to the top of Mt. Whitney at 14,505ft.

An adventure full of laughs, struggles, and introspection. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
