Brooke White

I started climbing at the age of six at a community recreation centre in Calgary and immediately fell in love. I started on my first team at the age of seven and began competing that year. Since my first time climbing, I’ve never turned back. I love the combination of problem-solving, strength, skill, and mental control this sport requires but also the supportive, welcoming, and uplifting community climbing brings with it. What began as a simple hobby turned into my expression of creativity, passion, and competitiveness. As I began to grow as an athlete, I began to shape my goals and aspirations for climbing which brought drive and motivation. I use climbing as a way to push my own limits and challenge myself. Over the years, I have competed at local, regional, national, and international competitions including Nationals, North America Cups, World Cups, and a Pan American Cup. This year, I am pursuing my climbing goals alongside studying Kinesiology in my first year of University at UBC in Vancouver.
