About Clay

I've always had a passion for adventure. There's something about testing your limits by doing something scary that beats any feeling in the world. And once you get past that fear, you realize that you're a lot more capable than you realize– and what originally scared you is now something you can see yourself doing again.
My love for the outdoors began when I was young– although it's hard not to love the outdoors when you grow up in Park City, Utah. Having immediate access to world-class ski resorts, bike trails, and hiking made it easy to get outside and explore. I've now lived in the Boulder area for over 5 years and have climbed just about everywhere within a 100-mile radius. Now, I want to share my love for the sport with climbers of all ages. To do so, I achieved both an AMGA single-pitch instructor certification and a Wilderness First Responder Certification, which allow me to guide climbers in a single-pitch setting. My goal is to help climbers achieve their goals with instruction personalized to their level of experience. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced climber, I want to help you have the best experience possible on the mountain. If you have any questions or want to learn the ways I can facilitate a safe and fun climbing experience, don't hesitate to reach out.
