Member Spotlight: Kaithlyn (She/Her) ✨
Meet Kaithlyn, one of our newest members who joined in December! We noticed her incredible stoke for climbing and asked her some questions to learn more about her journey:
🔷 What brought you to Movement?
“I wanted to learn how to climb and Movement had a learn to climb package with free rentals!”
🔷 When did you begin climbing?
“December 2nd, 2024”
🔷 Do you have any Climbing/Yoga/Fitness goals for 2025? If so, what are they?
“My Yoga goals - more hip mobility and stronger core.”
“My Climbing goals - become more consistent at the levels I’m climbing - hopefully by the end of this year be able to flash 5.10s”
🔷 What type of climbing do you like to do?
“I mainly do top rope- occasionally I boulder”
🔷 What do you like to do outside of the gym?
“Lately I have been working a lot but I also volunteer with MANNA and at my church and I am currently trying to learn a new language!”
🔷 If you were a climbing hold, what would you be, and why?
“A jug because you can grip it easily and stand on it”

Introducing our ✨New✨Head Routesetter!
😀Meet Altana!!!!!
🔹 Born and raised in NYC, and having lived in Portland (OR) and Chicago, Altana is super excited to have found her way to Philly. She’s been climbing since the early 2000s and professionally slinging grips since 2021.
Altana loves setting any and all kinds of technical, weird, and positional movement on her routes and boulders. Her setting goal is to create playful routes that encourage the climber to learn new skills in a fun way. Additionally, she loves setting “comp-style” movement as another avenue for a mix of play and new skill exploration. In her free time, she can be found traveling to set at competitions, riding bikes, or hanging out with her cat, Phil.
–––––––
‼️If you see Altana around the gym, feel free to say hi!
👀Keep your eye out for events related to routesetting in the future!
