About Us
Dean Hill is a software engineer, husband, and father in Fort Wayne, IN. He first found climbing in his twenties then retired it until a few years ago, where he began to dedicate more of his time and focus. He’s recently climbed in Yosemite, Greece, South Carolina, and Kentucky.
Dean’s favorite animal is a chimpanzee.
Ben Townsend has been rock climbing for close to fifteen years. He picked it up when he was 22 while looking for a new adventure. He didn’t know where to start, so he just packed up and drove down to Kentucky. Luckily he ran into some Fort Wayne natives and they showed him the basics. It is our goal to avoid that for future climbers. If we can help you learn safer techniques, we’re happy to serve you!
Ben has also climbed in many countries in the world including Nepal, Australia, Greece, and Thailand. Within the United States, Ben has also visited many of the popular crags, the Red River Gorge being his most familiar.
Ben’s favorite animal is an opossum.
Danielle is a movement enthusiast!! With over 13 years of experience instructing a variety of apparatuses and movement styles, helping others learn to rock climb has been an exciting and natural transition. With a focus on safety and technique, she is excited to share her knowledge and experience with others while continuing to gain more for herself!
Danielle started taking rock climbing more seriously in 2020 after going to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky! The RRG will always hold a special place in her heart, as it was her first outdoor climbing experience and the first place she led guided trips for first time climbers. Danielle has climbed at numerous indoor gyms over the years, as well as hit many crags in Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas!
Danielle's favorite animal is basically any feline.
Liz Cubberley moved to Fort Wayne to work in wildlife biology at Purdue Fort Wayne. Liz picked up rock climbing in recent years following in her parent’s (Debbie and Cub) footsteps, who climbed back in the 70s.
Despite a short climbing life, Liz has already climbed throughout the United States as well as internationally.
Liz loves working with kids, exploring new outdoor destinations, and looking for local creatures around the crag.
Liz can’t choose a favorite animal because they’re all too good!
