MEMBER OF THE MONTH - Emily Lewis
Tell us about yourself
Emily Lewis was born and raised in Ripon and is 28 years old. She is a nurse at a local hospital.
tell us about your climbing background
She first started climbing with her cousin recently but was very into water-polo at the time. Once Alpine opened up, she joined and got hooked to climbing.
why did you join alpine?
Alpine’s community is so different than any other gym she’s ever been a part of. You walk in and everyone is awesome and friendly. The friendships we’ve made have taken us outside of the gym skiing, slacklining, and hanging out.
what advice would you give to a new climber?
Just come do it! Everyone is going to be super supportive of you. You meet new people all the time that are always willing to climb with you.
“The moto come as you are leave stronger than you came holds value not just for the physical aspect of climbing, but also the mental, spiritual and emotional aspect of climbing. You leave a stronger person.”
