The only way out was up
Climb Denver, previously known as Denver Climbing Company, truly emerged from my resolute determination to conquer fear and anxiety. Anxiety once held sway over my life, prompting me to discover climbing as a methodical means of progressively challenging myself in a controlled yet exhilarating manner. While a certain degree of anxiety is intrinsic to our human experience, I instinctively acquired coping skills that empowered me to flourish in all facets of life. Establishing Climb Denver was my way of embodying this transformation.
You’ll observe my approach, characterized by inclusivity and warmth, as a testament to my unwavering commitment to where I began. My most joyful moments revolve around witnessing fellow journeyers, treading a similar path, as they begin to navigate their route through rock climbing. Let’s ascend together.

My Philosophy
I understand that every climber is unique and has different needs, goals and comfort levels. Therefore, I strive to provide customized training that is tailored to the individual needs of each climber.
I believe in creating a supportive, positive and encouraging environment that fosters personal growth and self-discovery. I believe that by providing a safe, challenging and supportive environment, climbers will be able to push their limits, overcome obstacles and achieve new heights both physically and mentally. My goal is to empower climbers with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to enjoy climbing for a lifetime.

Practi Bolts
My commitment to supporting rock climbers extends beyond our classroom sessions. I’ve introduced an innovative training aid known as Practi Bolts, enabling climbers to hone essential skills from the safety of their practice area. These devices replicate outdoor climbing bolts, providing a platform for practicing tasks such as anchor building and cleaning, among others.
