Meet Jackie, our October Member of the Month! 🙌

1) Tell us about yourself and your climbing journey.

I own a small business, teach group fitness part time, and raised three giant boys who are all grown up now. Nobody needs breakfast at 6am anymore, so now I climb instead. I started after the pandemic when I was looking for a new challenge, and I found one immediately. It has been humbling me several times a week ever since, and somewhere in there it stopped being a hobby and became the thing I plan my week around.

2) What is your favorite part of the Onsight community?

The people, members and staff both, and especially the early morning crew. Something about the folks who show up before the sun makes everyone unreasonably supportive. 

3) What climbing goal are you currently working toward?

Two things. I’m projecting 12s, and I’m working on being less terrified of falling. Whippers on lead and big falls on boulders both still get me. The climbing part I can train for. The falling part is more of an ongoing negotiation with my own nervous system.

4) What’s your favorite crag?

I’ve never climbed outdoors, so my favorite crag is Mount Onsight. Short approach, excellent parking, extremely reliable weather.

5) What’s your climbing superpower?

I can forget a route faster than anyone I know. Every route is a first ascent.

6) What’s your favorite crag snack?

Coffee. I’m aware coffee is a beverage. At 7am it counts as a food group.

Thank you Jackie for being such an important part of the Onsight community and supporting all those around you! Keep crushing those 12s! 💪
