Hali has been climbing since 2021, when some friends in Maryland took her to the local gym. After graduating high school and leaving competitive sports behind, she’d been searching for a new athletic outlet. She quickly transitioned outdoors with the help of some hardcore climbing ethicists.
“They told me if I wanted to climb, I had to lead. I never did any toproping and I wasn’t allowed to use a stick clip.”
Since then, she’s traveled to over a dozen climbing destinations in search of moderate multipitch routes. Most recently, Hali and her partner Devin Crilly headed to the world-famous El Potrero Chico to climb the jungly, bolted multipitch climbs of northern Mexico.
She moved to Kentucky in 2024, following her best friend Lucy Rose, who matched for her residency here (helped along, of course, by Louisville’s proximity to the Red). This fall, Hali is hoping to send her first 5.12c, with classic routes like “Heart Shaped Box” and “Mirage” at the top of her list.
When she’s not climbing, Hali loves to bake, cook, and garden (ask her about her veggie patch next time you see her). She’s also a civil engineer and enjoys the cross over of technical problem-solving that climbing demands.
Her climbing superpower is using footholds for hands. Her kryptonite is relaxing into a rest. And her favorite move is a big dyno, like the powerful one on “Guernica (5.11a)”, where you feel like a hero launching for the giant mushroom jug.
If you see her around the gym, say hi! She’s a super stoker with plenty of rad stories and is always looking for partners to get outside.

Will started climbing in 2021 after a three-month road trip out West that took him through dozens of parks and hundreds of miles of hiking. It was on that trip that he was first exposed to rock climbing. When he returned home, he came to Rocksport seeking Louisville’s hub for rope climbing.
“When I got here, I ran into some people I knew from other outdoor sports and found I was already somewhat intertwined in the social circle. Now it really feels like home and I’m here 3-5 nights a week”
Later, his love of climbing and the outdoors brought him to Washington, where he worked as a park ranger in the Mount Baker National Forest. During that chapter of his life, he lived off-grid in a small cabin, maintaining trailheads, prepping fire towers, and venturing deep into the backcountry.
His time there eventually culminated in a story that sounds almost made up. During a 38-mile hike, he was struck by rockfall, suffering a serious concussion and an open head wound. Being a resident hard man, however, he managed to radio a friend, hike the remaining five hours back to the road, and self-rescue.
His goal for this season is to send his first 5.13 in the Red, and he’s got a couple steep jug hauls picked out. (Better work on that endurance, buddy!)
Aside from climbing, Will is an avid photographer, self-published writer, backpacker, fly fisherman, and all-around interesting dude. Next time you’re in the gym, say hello. He’s a lovely guy and, once you get to know him, can probably tell you a crazy story or two.
