Name: Chris Schaefer

My name is Chris. I just started climbing in August when I began work here at the wall. I enjoy climbing outside, skateboarding down hills, skydiving, scuba diving, fighting fires, and wrestling crocodiles. But don’t be afraid, I have a soft side too, which includes beach combing, intimate conversations and gardening; that’s when I’m not jumping out of airplanes to fight fires. I’ll do anything to get away from the desk, so ask me questions, Beta and let me do my best to show you the way to doing anything from VI-V32 boulder problems. Just don’t ask about anything high, I don’t like heights, unless I have a parachute on my back and a fire waiting to be put out; single-handedly.
