Heyo, I'm Andrea! You'll find me on first descents in Big Sur, trying to find the best jumps in the Sierras, and wishing I wintered in Escalante.

I came of age on the East Coast, and after enough dreaming about bigger mountains and better rocks, I moved to the SF Bay Area in 2021. We have a pretty strong contingent of folks out here who go out a lot of weekends, so feel free to reach out for new-to-the-area tips or to get a trip together.

I'm aiming to do 15-20 descents in 2022 and 20-30 in 2023. The rest of my 2022 bucket list is here: http://ropewiki.com/Lists?user=Ameister&list=2022+%23goals and the beginning of my planning on 2023 is here: http://ropewiki.com/Lists?user=Ameister&list=2023+Scheming

I also trad climb and enjoy other rope-related pursuits. Looking to get back into rigging big swings and ziplines in the outdoors & would love to be pointed to any resources!
