ARC’TERYX • CLIMBING CLINIC INSTRUCTOR

My name is Amity Warme. I am a sports dietitian and chronically over-stoked rock climber, perpetually pursuing the next adventure. I find climbing compelling because it provides the opportunity for me to push my limits, physically and mentally, while exploring incredible landscapes and connecting with others in the climbing community. I live in a van and spend most of the year traveling to various climbing destinations, seeking out adventures big and small. My secret climbing superpower is trying REALLY hard - I don’t give up! I love digging deep to accomplish a goal and enjoy empowering others to do the same. I enjoy most all disciplines of climbing but feel especially drawn to big wall climbing because it requires a full repertoire of skills in order to pull off a successful ascent!  I am passionate about both pursuing my potential as an athlete and helping others use nutrition to maximize both performance and long-term health. Feel free to say hi if you ever see me around!!
