Instructors
The people behind the courses.
Three climbers — working guides, working climbers. Each runs one of our gyms and teaches the courses they care most about.
Sam Hayward
Bend, OR · Movement + Anchors
Sam has been climbing for twenty-two years and teaching for ten. He runs the Bend gym and teaches Movement Fundamentals and Anchor Building. His credentials say AMGA Single Pitch Instructor; his students say he won’t let you bail on a sequence until you’ve tried it three different ways.
Marisol Vega
Boulder, CO · Multi-pitch
Marisol came up on the Front Range and now teaches Multi-Pitch Leading out of the Boulder gym. AMGA Rock Guide. She’s the person you want if you’re trying to bridge the gap between gym-strong and outside-confident — she’s spent more time on that exact problem than almost anyone we know.
Kudzai Wiremba
Salt Lake City, UT · Youth + new courses
Kudzai runs the Salt Lake gym and is the head coach for our regional youth team. He’s developing the next course (rope management for the gym-to-crag jump) and runs office hours monthly for Members.
