Cheyenne grew up in Shelby, Montana, and found climbing in Bozeman. She now calls Truckee home and spends her time chasing big linkups, trail running, skiing, and pursuing any adventure that asks her to dig deep. With roots in conservation and community, she leads with kindness and grit, always finding joy in good people and good company.

This story was originally published on the Broad Beta website in September of 2025. In it, Cheyenne digs into fear - of missteps in the mountains and of being ourselves in the world - against the backdrop of a climb in the Beartooths with a good friend.
