Gisely Ferraz

At 46 years old, Gisely, originally from Brazil and residing in the USA for 16 years, has found her life shaped by a consistent passion for climbing. From her early days at National Camps in Brazil to conquering sport climbing projects, wide cracks, and scaling iconic peaks like Fitz Roy in Patagonia and El Capitan in Yosemite, Gisely's love for adventure knows no bounds. With a zest for the outdoors and a keen appetite for meaningful experiences, she eagerly embraces each new climb, whether it's exploring routes across the globe or sharing her expertise as a climbing instructor. Climbing isn't just a hobby for Gisely—it's a dynamic form of therapy that has helped her reintegrate into her life, her community, and transcend trauma and loss.
