Colette McInerney
“Though Colette grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, a location nicely nestled among a few world-class climbing destinations, it wasn’t until she moved to the Bronx, New York, determined to escape small-town American, that she fell quiet randomly into climbing. Two years later, the summer between her sophomore and junior years in college, Colette went out West for the first time where she truly fell in love with the lifestyle behind climbing. Still, she would never have imagined her life would become so fully immersed in the sport. A couple years later her first love led to her second, and Colette found herself completely dedicated to a life of travel and climbing. Today she feels more fortunate than ever to have had the chance to be a part of one of the most incredible communities out there, sharing challenging climbs with them, having most happy experiences and creating a lifestyle that she feels so privileged to call her own.”
