Born in Minnesota, Quinn Brett is now 33 years young! She began climbing casually in 6th grade with my her best friend, whose dad had a rope and some knot skills! Quinn climbs everywhere from Arizona's La Milagrosa Canyon to Rifle Mountain Park to long mountain routes in Rocky Mountain National Park. Some of her most memorable routes are Whiteman (5.11c) on Lumpy Ridge's Sundance Buttress, the traditional splitter The Wasp (5.13-) in Rocky Mountain National Park, and Psychotomic (5.12d) at the Monastery. She is also well versed in big wall climbing. She is a former NIAD (Nose In A Day) Female Team record holder with a time of 10:19 in June, 2012. She thrives on climbing quickly. In addition to breaking the women's Nose record, she has done many link-ups across the west. A three wall link-up in Zion (Moonlight 3:20, Spaceshot 3:35, and Touchstone in 2:18) and a 37-pitch link-up on Lumpy Ridge's various formations (car to car in 7 hours), are some of the highlights. She also loves soloing long, easy routes as quickly as possible, and she regularly runs triathlons and marathons.
