Our story

The mission of ClimbWise is to share climbing best practices that can be referenced at the crag or at home. We want our users to have a resource available in their pocket to double check their safety systems and learn more about the fun sport of rock climbing. We'd like to support their climbing goals by equipping them with reference material that can supplement and renew knowledge from hands-on courses.

Who we are

Jeff

Jeff enjoys sport, trad, alpine, and big wall climbing in the Cascades, Sierras, and desert areas of the western USA. He started working on this app after discussing the idea with friends while climbing at Tahquitz in CA. He feels he benefited from climbing courses taken with REI and the AAI, and wanted to find a way to share safe climbing systems in an accessible way to supplement guided courses and books. Jeff works on all parts of the app, from technical bits to writing content and taking photos.

Andy

Andy is a certified rock climbing guide who guides in many places around the world such as Washington, Nevada, California, Colorado, Utah, Alaska, Canada, South America, and Thailand. He has contributed his expert hands-on knowledge from teaching many people the joy of rock climbing. He loves sharing his passion for climbing and the mountains with others.
