What Zero Gravity meant to you:

  • Zero Gravity was a second family to me. All of us worked really hard to realize our individual climbing goals, but our experiences together through practices, climbing trips, and competitions helped us bond together as a team. Even if one of us was having a bad day, we could always count on Scot or our teammates always being there for support and encouragement. This created an environment where I was able to be inspired by the people around me, not only through my own accomplishments. I appreciated every moment I spent with Zero Gravity, and the lessons I learned I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

 

Favorite place to climb/travel:

  • Rodellar!
