Originally from Quebec, Flavie Cardinal lives in Golden, B.C., where she works as a paramedic. She spends her winters skiing and ice climbing in the Canadian Rockies, and her summers and autumns living out of her van while climbing in Squamish and the U.S. She’s most drawn to long routes and remote objectives that require commitment, patience, and good partners.
