"In climbing, when I'm not trying to do a million things at once, all the chaos of distractions from the digital world are silent.  I'm just focused on the next move!"  

Since the age of 6 (1998), Sasha has captured the world's attention with her climbing abilities.  By the time she was eleven, Sasha sent her first 5.13, something that had not been achieved since Chris Sharma and Adam Ondra.  While still in High School, Sasha sent two of the hardest routes in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky;.Southern Smoke (5.14c) and Lucifer (5.14c).   Then, in 2011, the three-time US National Champion became the first American women to climb the grade 9a (5.14d) with her historic ascent of "Pure Imagination", also located in Kentucky's Red River Gorge.

On July 12, 2018, Professional Climber, Sasha DiGiulian, set out to become the first woman and second person in history to complete “Rocky Mountain Trilogy;” a compilation of three of the hardest 5.14 big walls in the Canadian Rockies. The imposing climbs, on Castle Mountain, Mount Louis, and Mount Yamnuska, respectively will take Sasha 2 months of continued effort with the ultimate goal of ascending each sheer wall in a single day push, with zero falls — a combined average of over 9,000 vertical feet of climbing at a lung busting average elevation of 7,000ft.
