About

Arianna is from Chicago and was an avid distance runner and triathlete while growing up. She started rock climbing while attending college in Wisconsin, where she studied at Marquette University. She finally left the Midwest, living for some time in both Oregon and Washington, where she discovered her love for the Cascades. She enjoys the variety of climbing that the Northwest offers and is passionate about showing others this incredible terrain. When she’s not on belay, you can find her cycling, skiing, and eating It’s-It ice cream sandwiches.
