    Climbing has been an important part of Shona’s life since she first scampered up the wall of a local crag over a decade ago. The pursuit of spending time in the vertical world has guided her to many incredible places and communities all over the globe and she is so happy to be settled back in her hometown, reconnecting with her roots and a new family of climbers. Shona loves the Gold Crush community and being part of a space that brings people together both on and off the wall. When she’s not managing the gym or teaching someone how to tie a figure 8 knot, you'll find Shona tending her garden, climbing at a local crag, or dipping in the Yuba River.
