Coachingedit
She founded the climbing gym ABC Kids Climbing in Boulder, Colorado which focuses on developing agility, balance, and coordination in young climbers. Many of its graduates are climbing 5.14, and performing well in national and international climbing competitions.[4] Two of the four American athletes who qualified for the 2020 Olympics in sport climbing, Brooke Raboutou and Colin Duffy, were both members of Team ABC, which also produced Margo Hayes, the first woman to climb a 5.15a (9a+) route, and Natalia Grossman, the 2021 bouldering world champion.[5]
In 2018 she was inducted into the Boulder Sports Hall of fame.[6]
Personal lifeedit
Erbesfield married French rock climber Didier Raboutou [fr] in 1993, and their two children, Brooke Raboutou and Shawn Raboutou, are themselves, accomplished rock climbers.[3]
