Kat is our Youth Programming Coordinator. Kat has been climbing for 4 years and her enthusiasm for the sport is quite apparent from the moment you meet her. Kat dove into the sport head first, fully integrating herself into the community and absorbing all the knowledge she could. Kat has two kiddos of her own and loves to spend all her time outdoors, a perfect complement to climbing. Kat’s favorite type of climbing is anything outdoors at one of our local crags.
