Questions That Some People Have & The Answers to Them (FAQs)

Q: How long have you been climbing & where do you climb?

I’ve been climbing for a little over 8 years now. I boulder and sport climb indoors & outdoors, mainly in Pennsylvania, the Red River Gorge, & the New River Gorge.

Q: Why did you start a YouTube channel?

Looking back, I’ve always been interested in making digital content ever since I was really little. My earliest memory of making a “video” is in sixth grade when I was preparing for a trip to Washington DC. I spent hours & hours collecting information about the monuments & using it to create a timed & animated PowerPoint to show to my parents. My parents were always supportive of my creative pursuits & this continued throughout high school as I took a few classes on basic video editing & even competed on a Video Production team through Business Professionals of America. I’ve watched YouTube since I was about 15 & it’s helped me through some rough times, so I always wanted to start a channel, but never knew what to make videos about. A few years into climbing it just kind of all clicked together & I haven’t looked back. I really, really love it.

Q: I love your videos. How can I help support you?

Thank you for watching! The best way to support court climbs is to like the videos, subscribe to the channel, comment, and share the videos with your friends.

I am also always looking for opportunities to connect with businesses to help create meaningful written, video, and graphic content related to climbing and the outdoors, so if you are someone or know someone, put me in touch! Thank you for your support, it is much appreciated.
