Athlete Bio
Name: Jasmin Caton
DOB: June 12, 1980
How did you get started climbing? A friend took me out for a day of toproping in Squamish and I was hooked.
How old were you when you started? 20
Who or what inspired you to start climbing? I always loved outdoor activities like hiking and backcountry skiing, but wanted to have the skills to do more technical ascents. Once I did a little bit of climbing I was drawn to the lifestyle, the climbing community and the combination of physical and mental challenge that climbing offers.
Who served as your inspiration in life? My parents. They taught me that achieving a healthy, happy, active lifestyle outweighs the pursuit of wealth.
What was your first outdoor climb? Burgers and Fries, 5.7, Squamish BC.
What do you do when you're not climbing? Play with my dog, backcountry ski, cook, read, mountain bike.
Any training advice or suggestions? Climb a lot, take frequent rest days and don't be hard on yourself!
What do you feel is your best accomplishment, outside of climbing? Writing a thesis for my Master's Degree entitled Environmental Controls on the Formation and Isotopic Composition of a Laminated Tufa in Red Butte Canyon, Utah.
What do you feel is your best accomplishment within climbing? Facilitating an exciting, challenging and positive climbing experience for literally hundreds of people through my job as a climbing guide.
