Manoah Ainuu
Climbing wasn’t the obvious path for me. Born in Compton, California to first-generation immigrants from Samoa and Ethiopia, my childhood was surrounded by concrete and congested freeways. Now, my everyday views include vertical blue ice, pocketed limestone crags and the high peaks of six mountain ranges in a 1.8-million-acre forest.
What I provide
I’m super mellow and gentle – that’s my personality – but swinging tools into ice gives me a feeling of power and strength. To help you experience the same, I provide one-on-one consults to help you ice and free climb.
