Alli Rainey
Climbing since 1992, Harvard grad Alli Rainey Wendling lasted for a single year working a "real world" job before she chose to take a different route, becoming a road-tripping rock climber and freelance writer. As a climber, Alli's accomplishments range from redpoints of numerous 5.13's up to 5.13+ (including many unrepeated first ascents) and onsights of more than 140 5.12's up to 5.12d, to bouldering V9, to winning and placing highly in numerous local, regional, and national bouldering competitions throughout her tenure as a climber. Her most recent passion in climbing involves establishing new sport routes and boulder problems in her home state of Wyoming, where she can be found more often than not-if you know where to look!
In her guise as a writer, Alli recently had her first book, Bouldering USA, published by The Countryman Press in early 2005. This book is packed with useful information for both the novice boulderer and for those with more experience, covering all of the how-to and where-to details needed to learn and improve skills while enjoying bouldering in a variety of locations around the country. The Countryman Press will publish her second book, Montana and Wyoming: An Explorer's Guide, in 2005. Alli's additional writing credits include numerous articles published in a variety of magazines and journals, including Rocky Mountain Sports, Men's Fitness, Rock & Ice, Climbing, Alpinist, Gripped, American Alpine News, and Boulder Magazine, among many others.
