I’m a professional climber based in Sweden.
Born in 1992, I grew up in Saltsjöbaden outside Stockholm, Sweden, and started climbing when I was 11 years old. Three months later, I placed second in the junior swedish championships and soon thereafter established myself as one of the best junior climbers in Europe. As a 20-year-old, I qualified as the first Swede for the world championship finals in climbing and the following year came sixth at the world games in climbing.
Between 2013 and 2017, I studied at the Stockholm School of Economics. Shortly after graduating, I decided to focus on climbing again and changed focus from indoor competitive climbing to outdoor climbing.
In 2019, I became the first (and still only) woman in the Nordics to climb a route with difficulty level 9a.
In 2020, I climbed a boulder with a difficulty level of 8B and thus became one very few women in the world to climb a 9a and 8B respectively outdoors.
In 2022, together with Sasha DiGulian and Brette Harrington I climbed Rayu, the hardest big wall ever for a female team.
I climbed Sweden’s first route graded 9a in 2023, Niemesis, in Niemisel outside Luleå.
I’m the founder of Moumo (a Swedish chain of climbing gyms).
I will continue to push the limits in sport and big wall climbs all around the world.
