about me
7+ years of experience climbing indoors and outdoors. My passion for bouldering led me to want to share my skill set and my thoughts on the sport with the younger generation. Coaching youth athletes was a perfect fit, I want to show them what it means to be a respectful member of this community as well as help them become the strongest version’s of themselves.

about me
Bay Area homegrown and organic! “Aged Cheddar” began climbing in the summer of 2010. When not training you can still find him in the gym reading the finest books, that’s right..leather bound! He plays a mean game of chess if you ever fancy a challenge. The mental/physical challenges of climbing are why he still climbs today.
classes

About Me
I have lived in the Bay Area my whole life with a majority of it spent swimming at the beach or hiking local trails. I am currently an undergraduate student in Biology that has rediscovered my passion for climbing. Recent climbing in gyms and bouldering in northern California mountains has brought me back to the rock climbing community where I hope to broaden my skills and grow as an athlete.

about me
Grown and raised in the Bay Area, I’ve always loved being active. I love riding my bike, gardening in my backyard and taking pictures of beautiful flowers and the outdoors. I also love everything geeky, you can catch me playing video games, watching Star Trek: TNG, or re-watching Gremlins for the 50th time in my time off!
skills
Baking pastries and bread, understanding everything my cat says to me
