Flannery Shay-Nemirow has been climbing, sometimes competitively, for 15 years, specifically in the disciplines of sport and bouldering. While she’s since stepped away from competing, she maintains contact with the scene by setting and forerunning high level national and international bouldering competitions.
Flannery has gone on to gain her Level 4 USAC route setting certification, and continues to work with gyms across the country. Even though she has a deep connection to the world of plastic pulling, her focus tends to be doing hard boulders outside, where she has climbed multiple V12s.
