Climbing has been a part of my life on and off for the past 18 years. What keeps me coming back is the mix of challenge, fun, and community that climbing creates. I’m passionate about making Endurance Climbing a space where anyone—whether it’s your first climb or your hundredth—feels welcome, supported, and excited to grow. When I’m not at the gym, you can usually find me outside adventuring with my family, reading a book, puzzling, or napping. 

Evan is passionate about helping beginners and youth discover the sport, fostering a supportive and welcoming environment for climbers of all levels. With a background in yoga and running, Evan values the balance between physical fitness and mental well-being, encouraging others to challenge themselves both on and off the wall. Outside of work, Evan enjoys spending quality time with family and exploring activities that promote connection and growth.

Josh first started climbing in 2011 at a friend birthday party and ever since has been hooked. After graduating high school in 2019, Josh began pursing climbing more seriously and obtained his Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) certification with the AMGA. Josh is deeply passionate about community and in 2022, (re)founded the climbing club at WWU which runs over 30 trips a year for more than 300 members. In the unlikely event Josh isn’t climbing, you can find him playing board games with friends, riding his bike (also with friends), or thinking about when he will next go climbing with his friends.
