tell us about your climbing background
They were all new to climbing and had no indoor or outdoor experience prior to joining Alpine. When Alpine began building in Ripon, they decided to go all in and give climbing a shot.
why did you join alpine?
There are so many great things about Alpine. We love how we can do it together as a family and how our kids can learn how to persevere, set goals and work towards them, and the overall community that has formed here.
what advice would you give to a new climber?
NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
