Why you love to climb and what Zero Gravity means to you:

• I like to climb because it's something everyone can do. No mater height, weight, or age. It brought my family into something we all can do, and have fun.

• Zero Gravity is a way for me to get better and better every time I come to the gym. It has shown me that I can not only be good at something, but improve at it so it's the best to my ability.
