He competed in Speed Climbing at the ESPN X-Games each year from 1996 to 2001 earning 4 silver medals and 2 bronze medals, making him the most decorated climber in X-Games history. He has either organized, set routes, or competed in over 200 climbing competitions, and coached a number of notable athletes including Chris Sharma and Ethan Pringle. I have been coaching youth sports on and off throughout my adult life ever since I stopped competing in them myself, and I absolutely love the feeling of spreading the love and knowledge of sport to the next generation.Ĭhris Bloch started climbing in 1985, and began competing on the national and international level in 1994, the same year he began route-setting. When I’m not adventuring outside, I enjoy practicing yoga, playing with my cat, collecting records, studying sustainability, and working on my (somewhat) vintage truck. Although I loved it in my home state, moving to California has opened up the door for many new epic adventures backcountry skiing, camping, hiking, climbing, and swimming in alpine lakes. Growing up in Washington, sports and an active outdoor lifestyle have been a part of my life since I can remember. It was there that I became more confident climbing outside of a gym, and eventually lead, multi pitch, and trad climbing. I enjoyed the sport tremendously, but never consistently practiced and grew at it until I moved to Lake Tahoe in March of 20 16. A close friend of mine was a world champion youth sport climber who introduced me to the sport after I had quit ski racing competitively and wanted something different to do during the winter.
