“The massive South Face of University Peak is one of the crown jewels of North American ski mountaineering. Inspiring awe and fear at the same time in copious amounts. Few peaks in the world can compare with its sheer size and vertical beauty. Finding the South FAce in condition is the key to any successful descent, which is why there have been so few.” (FCSDofNA)
“I would like to be that voice in every little girl or women’s ear that says, ‘You’ve got this. You’ve got everything it takes.’”
