Jane
Sabin-Davis Even though Jane began climbing later in life, she is addicted to the challenges and triumphs that climbing brings to her; in fact, climbing has become a metaphor for her life. At 58, she truly believes that the focus, dedication, perfection, and beauty of climbing helps her to find the solitude that is so important to all of us. Outside of that, Jane is involved with gardening, dogs, non-profit work, and most recently her new "transition" job as a Barista. She currently lives in La Grande, Oregon. |

Drew
Peterson From sport, trad, and bouldering to big walls, ice and alpine climbing, Drew has gained respect in all genres. When not testing himself in the vertical world, he can be found anywhere in the woods. With a Degree in Forestry and Wildlife Biology from the University of Vermont, he is often distracted with every step and smell encountered in the wilderness. In addition to his academic attributes, Drew is an AMGA climbing guide and carries with him a positive and contagious attitude that elicits a feeling of adventure in most everyone. He currently resides in Bend, Oregon. |
