Biography

Sasha DiGiulian is without question the most decorated and arguably the best female climber in the world, constantly pushing the boundaries of what most thought possible. She started climbing at the young age of 6 and took the world by storm, quickly growing into one of its most famous faces. Over the course of her career, she has been Female Overall World Champion twice, the undefeated Pan-American Champion for a 10-year span, and 3-time US National Champion. She was the first North American woman and third woman in the World to climb a grade 5.14d, (9a), and traveled to over 50 countries while accomplishing 30+ First and First Female Ascents. These accomplishments garnered her global attention, including gracing the cover of 27 magazines and features that include Oprah, Good Morning America, The Today Show, 60 Minutes Sports, Nightline, CNN, BBC, Vogue, and TIME.

When she’s not conquering the crag, Sasha believes in the transformative power of sports on youth and female development. As a woman making a career within a traditionally male dominated space, she stands for equality in sport, access, pay, and treatment of female athletes. To further this message, Sasha founded Female Focused Adventures, a production company that centers around storytelling in the female adventure space and empowering female content creators, striving to bolster the access and experiences of other women in the outdoors. She is the recipient of the Golden Piton Award, Arco Rock Legend Award, and the American Alpine Club Robert Hicks Bates Award, which honors young climbers who show “outstanding promise for future accomplishment.” Additionally, she was one of Glamour Magazine’s “College Women of the Year” recipients, was recognized in the Virginia Legislature for her achievements in rock climbing under the House Joint Resolution 533 and was named to Maxim’s Hot 100 list twice. Sasha is also deeply rooted in philanthropy, sitting on the board of the Women’s Sports Foundation and Ascend Afghanistan, and is an ambassador for Protect Our Winters and Right to Play International.
