Drills for Skills

Instructor: Ellie Rubin (she/her)

Bio: Ellie is a Touchstone Athlete, representing the team on both the national and international stage as a 6x Para Climbing World Cup medalist and National Champion. She regularly competes on the IFSC para climbing circuit and has earned 1 silver and 4 bronze medals since her first season in 2022. Climbing with one hand has pushed her to develop a unique style, relying on unconventional beta and creative movement to find the send. Although bouldering initially intimidated her because of the seemingly impossible moves, it has since become her favorite discipline. After 10 years of climbing, Ellie still feels like she learns something new every year and loves talking beta and exploring creative solutions on the wall. Follow her here: @ellrubin
