Wyatt is a lifelong climber, snowboarder, trail runner, and mountain biker. He started his climbing career as a teenager at a small gym in Nashville, TN, and has been all-in ever since. With nearly seven years of experience working in gyms, he's built a deep foundation in the sport and a passion for helping climbers push their limits. Wyatt has a gift for getting anyone and everyone stoked on climbing. Whether you're brand new to the sport or a seasoned veteran looking for fresh inspiration, he'll coach you up the wall.

In recent years, he has dove headfirst into performance training and has been steadily building out his training philosophy for all levels of climbing. His expertise lies in strength and conditioning plans, youth coaching, and the foundations of climbing movement. If you are looking to improve your efficiency, strength, or just need some tips on how to send your project Wyatt has all the tools for you.

When he's not sharing the stoke around the gym or at the crag, you'll likely find him daydreaming about food, chatting up anyone who will listen about their projects, or geeking out over the latest local first ascents. If you run into him, don't hesitate to strike up a conversation about your favorite lunch spot, that pink one in the corner, or your favorite obscure boulder in Vermont.
