My goodness, what a life-changing experience this climbing world cup was. Traveling to Austria, climbing outside with the view of the Alps... And the people, the best part.

To be surrounded by so many kind, strong and courageous individuals. Climbers from all over the world who dare to defy the odds.

Thank you to the amazing organizers and volunteers @worldclimbingpara and @kletterzentruminnsbruck. Including the belayers for keeping everyone safe in scorching sun.

I'm happy to leave Innsbruck with many new friends, memories, and the confidence to climb to new heights.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon. 🙏💪❤️

Turns out chairs are harder than they look 🪑

Didn’t make finals so I decided to climb a chair at the @thenorthface @thenorthface_climb booth instead 😂 The chair won, and I have the bruises to prove it. (Don’t scroll to the last slide if you don’t want to see them.)

Shoutout to @peronacelaura for helping me get into the right headspace for this competition.

Plus a few snapshots from Innsbruck beyond the competition wall 🇦🇹

I can’t believe climbing is taking me to some of the most beautiful places in the world.

On Olympic & Paralympic Day, I’m feeling especially grateful to be part of this sport as para climbing prepares for its Paralympic debut at @LA28.

None of this would be possible without our team at @diversability holding down the fort. Thank you Erin, Arielle, and Katherine 🧡

Next up: Laval 🇫🇷 hopefully (after some recovery ❤️‍🩹) @worldclimbing @worldclimbingpara

Paraclimbing World Cup, Innsbruck, 🇦🇹 2026

With a large number of competitors, including many new faces and nations, as well as several strong newcomers, the World Cup in Innsbruck was once again a highlight. As always, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the event was superbly organised.

I’m very pleased that I was able to significantly improve my performance in the final. I was especially happy that I was able to really enjoy the final route. It was one of the best I have ever climbed — super varied, creatively set and exciting right up to second place.

It was an unforgettable event with all my teammates, trainers, and family! You are all incredible! Thank you.

A huge thank you to all the organisers, volunteers, route setters and fans for these unforgettable two days!

I came back stronger. So did everyone else.

Innsbruck, so we meet again. 🇦🇹

Last year’s competition in Innsbruck was my first international climbing competition and the place where I started to build my confidence as a climber.

I’ve gotten a lot stronger since then. The thing is, so has everyone else.

Competing in a merged class as a single-arm climber means the results don’t always tell the full story. I knew the outcome wouldn’t necessarily reflect the progress I’ve made, but I’m proud of how I climbed.

What makes this competition especially meaningful is that it’s the first one where we’ve had five AU1 (single-arm) climbers competing. Watching our field grow, seeing more representation, and sharing the wall with this community feels like a win in itself.

I’m having fun looking cool on the wall, throwing big dynamic moves, and campusing with one arm, as they say 😉

Grateful for my climbing community and the opportunity to compete alongside the best para climbers in the world. 🧗🏻‍♀️

Thank you @usaclimbing @usaparaclimbing for the opportunity, @kletterzentruminnsbruck for hosting us, and @adaptclimbgroup and @cafoundation for the support. (ACG sponsors @adidasfiveten @blackdiamond @edelrid_sport @Evolv_worldwide)

Mitte Oktober ging der letzte Wettkampf der Saison im Nationalen Leistungszentrum in Biel über die Bühne! 🇨🇭
Es war ein anstrengender, aber schöner Wettkampf mit sehr schönen Routen!

Mit dem Saison Abschluss ging ein Finaleinzug daher und ich bin stolz, dass ich dreimal in schön geschraubten und fordernden Routen meine Ausdauer und mein Können zeigen durfte! 🍀🦁🫶🧗‍♀️

Die leeren Engergiespeicher wurden am Abend traditionell mit Pizza wieder aufgefüllt 😋.

Somit geht ein weiteres Wettkampf-Jahr zu Ende. Geprägt von Höhen und Tiefen, Erfahrungen, schönen Erinnerungen, neuem Wissen, neuen Freuden und dem einem oder anderen Muskelkater.
Es war ein Jahr, indem ich viel Neues lernen durfte, Zeit mit Freunden und Teamkollegen und dem @paraclimbing_team_germany verbringen konnte und ich bedanke mich nochmals herzlich bei all meinen Freunden, Familienmitgliedern und Teamkollegen, die mich vor Ort und von zuhause immer unterstützt haben, dem @dav_erlangen und der @davsparkassenbergwelt für die guten Möglichkeiten zu trainieren, sowie allen Verbänden, Kletterhallen und Organisationen, die die diesjährigen Wettkämpfen ausgetragen haben! 🫶🤘✨🍀❤️🦁💪

Nun geht es in die Wettkampfpause, ins Wintertraining und ins eintragen neuer Kletterschuhe, nachdem mein Kletterschuh den Rest an Gummispitze an der Schweizer Wand gelassen hat 🤣😁 (Siehe vorletztes Foto)

Back from the Paraclimbing World Cup in Innsbruck 2025 and overall really satisfied with my performance!
I was especially glad to see a no-hand rest included in Quali. Please more of that!

Still, I would have actually preferred to climb one of the qualification routes from the other categories. They looked much more technical and interesting to me.

It was also great meeting new AU1 climbers (First female climber for quite a long time)! I really hope they’ll get the chance to compete in their own start class at a World Cup one day—just like I did in 2022. They truly deserve that experience.

And did I mention? Please @ifsclimbing give us our category back. It sucks to do a great performance and end up close to last place 😐

My first Paraclimbing World Cup is in the books 🎉

And I came in 8th out of 10 with athletes from 6 countries. I guess that makes me a Top 10 athlete!

My stretch goal was not to place last, though even if I got last I would understand as the only AU1 women's climber (single-arm climber) now in a two-arm climbing class called RP1 ... so I did better than I thought!

A few highlights include seeing how much progress I've made since Nationals, watching my Team USA teammates sweep the podium in my category, and meeting the other climbers with brachial plexus injuries (paralyzed arm).

Excited to welcome more BPI climbers into the sport and thank you @usaclimbing for the support!
