Brette Harrington (USA)

Brette grew up in Lake Tahoe, and began skiing from an early age, initially on the Slalom course before switching to Slopestyle skiing and later backcountry ski touring. Brette is an accomplished rock climber, a sport she first took up during high school, and has several notable climbs and first ascents to her name. In February 2015, she free-soloed Chiaro di Luna (5.11a) on Aguja Saint Exupery, Patagonia, becoming the first climber, male or female, to do so without the aid of any equipment or protection. The climb was ranked as one of the ten most legendary free solos to date.
