Vikki Weldon is one of Canada’s strongest female climbers. Her older siblings, Chris and Stacey, were the first to start climbing, and it wasn’t long before Vikki and her little brother, Mike, were tagging along. She has travelled to China and Ecuador to compete, and in the past few years focused on rock. “I have a unique love for my hometown areas in the Bow Valley of Alberta, with Acephale being my home base. I have recently become a registered nurse, specializi­ng in pediatr ics. My goal is to combine my passion for children and families with my passions of travel and climbing,” says Vikki. In summer 2013, Vikki became the third Canadian female to have climbed 5.14, when she sent Eulogy 5.14a, at Maple Canyon.
