✨ Instructor Spotlight: Ryder (they/them) ✨
Ryder is one of the coaches behind our Peak Performance Team — a program designed to help climbers train, progress, and push their limits. We asked Ryder a few questions so you can get to know them better:
🔷Where are you from?
St. George, UT
🔷How long have you been climbing?
About 6 years!
🔷How did you get into climbing?
Through a high school therapy program that used bouldering and top rope as a tool for growth.
🔷Outdoor industry experience?
Worked with Outward Bound as an instructor, guided trips, and joined trail crews.
🔷Anything else you’d like to share?
If you see me playing hacky sack in the gym, come join!
👉 Train with Ryder and the Peak Performance Team to build technique, fitness, mental game, and motivation. All levels welcome!
