Hannah

Hannah started climbing when she was 18 and living in Colorado. Her love of the water landed her in Wilmington where she found her new climbing home at Wilmington Rock Gym. Now she uses her bubbly personality and love for climbing to inspire our next generation of climbers in the Young Aspiring Climbers program. She also enjoys teaching the Intro to Top Roping Course and is learning to set routes. When she's not at the gym you can probably find her doing yoga on the beach.
