Who is Rudy?

I'm a climber, just like you! I started climbing two years ago, initially with the intention of climbing irregularly and just for fun. But that quickly changed with my first project, a 5.9 named Lemon Peppa Steppas. The route was well set, where a little technique went a long way, and the journey of sending it hooked me on climbing! Although my love for climbing began on a small wall in the corner of a college campus, my passion for the sport is big, and I want to share it with the world! Now, I’m on the wall at every opportunity, dedicated to inspiring others to climb with confidence and community.

My love for teaching has led me to work with climbers of all ages and skill levels. Now, I’m excited to combine that passion with climbing by helping beginners and intermediate climbers level up their skills. Climbing, to me, is not just about reaching new heights but also fostering a supportive community. It was the encouragement from those around me that pushed me to break through my limits and tackle harder routes.
