Meet Tristan

My name is Tristan. I live in Colorado but grew up in Massachusetts and am an elite rock climber. I’ve traveled all over the world to climb, and was the 2015 collegiate national champion. In April of 2022 I was bouldering by myself and hit my shoulder on a rock behind me. In climbing falls happen as frequently as a baseball player may swing a bat. This fall was nothing out of the ordinary, except my shoulder was bruised far worse than I would expect from how hard I hit it, growing to the size of my hand by the next day, and I remember looking at it initially and thinking "geeze I hope that’s not leukemia."
