Isabel grew up in San Francisco and was first introduced to climbing on a trip to the High Sierras in 2016. She really became passionate about it in 2020 when she was looking for an outlet for her energy while still being able to socially distance. Since then, Isabel has been fully immersed in the climbing community, as enthusiastic about her own journey as well as others.
In addition to coaching our youth teams, Isabel also manages CRG Chelsea and runs a weekly strength training class. She is passionate about getting climbers (and non-climbers) to incorporate strength training into their exercise routine. She believes it is a great way to become stronger in everyday life, in addition to climbing.
