“With many years of climbing experience and specifically training for climbing movements, I can help any climber from beginner to advanced push their climbing to the next level.

My goal is to support you in the pursuit of climbing. From the first session we'll set goals that motivate you and then I help you implement them.

Climbing is an art. It's a combination of many different types of skills; both physical and mental. We'll focus on how to properly warmup, strength training, climbing technique, "try hard", and injury prevention.

Volta was built with progression in mind, for all abilities. I'm excited to help you find and accomplish your goals.”
