I'm Craig, one of the climbing guides/instructors at ASCEND. I've been climbing for 15 years and been here at ASCEND for 3 now. I love getting outdoors and especially enjoy trad climbing at the Gunks. Most recently I have taken up top rope soloing at some local crags with my wife and 2-year old. My passion for instructing comes from the joy of watching others grow in their climbing knowledge and skills. When I'm not climbing I enjoy trail running, backpacking, paddling, playing board games, and drinking coffee on the porch.
