Originating from California, her climbing journey commenced with a casual visit to a local gym in 2013, sparking a profound passion that would shape her destiny.

Following her college years, Anna's adventurous spirit led her to Barcelona, Spain, with the intention of teaching English. However, the unforeseen challenges posed by the global pandemic in 2020 disrupted her plans. Undeterred, Anna faced language barriers and the crisis head-on, turning adversity into an opportunity for personal growth.

During this transformative period, she not only refined her climbing prowess but also ventured into video editing and social media. Anna launched a captivating YouTube channel, chronicling her climbing exploits and personal development, captivating a growing online audience.

Remarkably, Anna Hazelnutt embraced trad climbing in January 2021, swiftly ascending notorious routes like Once Upon a Time in the Southwest (E9) and achieving the first female ascent of the Walk of Life (E9). Her daring feats extended to becoming one of the few women to climb the Quarryman (E8) multipitch trad route in a single day and conquering E10/5.14- on gear. Her sport climbing triumphs include a bold repeat of Spank the Monkey Full 5.13d R and the recent conquest of North America's first 5.14a, To Bolt or Not to Be.

Delving into her rock climbing experience, Anna's journey is deeply rooted in her unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence, a significant part of which unfolded within the dynamic walls of indoor climbing gyms. Since her introduction to a local climbing gym in 2013, these gyms became the crucible where Anna honed her skills, embracing diverse climbing terrains and challenging routes.

Indoor climbing gyms served as more than training grounds for Anna; they were the canvas on which she painted the foundation of her climbing prowess. With tenacity mirroring the rugged outdoor crags she would later conquer, Anna spent countless hours refining her technique, building strength, and cultivating the mental resilience necessary for the unpredictable nature of rock climbing.

The controlled environment of indoor climbing gyms allowed Anna to systematically push her limits, experiment with different techniques, and refine her movements with precision. As she progressed, artificial holds and varying wall angles became opportunities for growth and mastery.

Anna's dedication to training extended beyond physical conditioning, encompassing a holistic experience involving a deep dive into the mental aspects of climbing. Facing simulated challenges, overcoming fears, and developing mental fortitude were integral parts of her indoor training regimen. Climbing was not just a physical activity for Anna; it was a mental and emotional journey, a constant battle against self-doubt and the drive to push beyond perceived limits.

The camaraderie forged in indoor climbing communities played a pivotal role in Anna's development, creating a supportive environment that fueled her passion and propelled her to new heights. Even when unforeseen challenges, such as the global pandemic in 2020, disrupted her plans, Anna adapted by transforming living spaces into makeshift climbing environments and leveraging online resources to stay connected with the climbing community.
