Minneapolis, MNResides
North Conway, New HampshireBio
From African rock climbs to mixed routes in New England, Majka finds passion in the moment adventures morph into greater understanding. She’s the author of two books, a filmmaker and a poodle owner. Her first lead fall was onto the smallest Tri-Cam and she’s often more comfortable above a micro-nut than a bolt. She recently moved to North Conway, New Hampshire for love and ice climbing.Career Highlights
