GEORGIA NORTON
GEORGIA NORTONWhat is an interesting fact about yourself?
I’m a passionate rock climber! I love seeing persistence pay off when perfecting a sequence of moves, mastering a new rope system, and teaching others to climb outdoors. Climbing is endlessly humbling, but it is also an endless opportunity to learn! Whether you’re adventuring up an alpine multi-pitch or working one move in the gym, it teaches us to problem solve, build trust, and celebrate each other’s wins. The lessons I learn climbing definitely help me become a better person elsewhere!

The people here really make the place.
