Dawn enjoys all types of climbing, however, ice and mixed climbing is her specialty. Dawn has followed her passion for climbing and it has taken her all over the world to climb and explore. She has climbed in Canada, Norway, Greece, France, Italy, Montenegro, Sardinia, and Iceland, as well as multiple first ascents on waterfall ice lines in Cody, Wyoming, and the western fjords of Iceland.
