My first climb was in 1996, at my high school grad night. My second climb was about ten years later, and I've since become addicted to all things climbing. My perfect day involves scrambling up the little rocks with friends and finishes up with food, beer and... watching climbing videos! I've climbed in Thailand and Japan, but never in Yosemite or Bishop... weird.

Andrew Andrew is a native of Western North Carolina and has been climbing since 2004. He and his wife love California! They have shared many adventures throughout the west including several long multi-pitch routes in Red Rocks and Yosemite as well as a healthy amount of Grade V aid. His favorite places include Joshua Tree, Pinnacles, Tuolumne, Tahoe, Gunks, as well as the home cliffs of NC. Andrew is excited to be a member of the GWPC Touchstone family. He also teaches our amazing crack climbing clinic.
	Stephanie Look at that face... You can't stay mad at that face! Which is why we send all disgruntled customers her way... Stephanie is one of the nicest people around. She gave up her job in the corporate public health world and has become a fixture at GWPC. And we couldn't be happier. Stephanie has climbed all over the Western United States and is currently applying to graduate programs to pursue her passion for forstering healthy communities. She also teaches our basic technique clinic.
Melissa Melissa's love for climbing began a few years ago in San Jose. Countless hours spent on the computer for graphic design classes caused her to become weak and restless. Until one day, she was able to find release in the joy of scrambling up walls! Alas! She had found an all natural remedy to cure a static state. Her true passion lies in nature, and she hopes to someday backpack in New Zealand or bike around Europe. Until then, she is completely happy meeting all the wonderful people at GW!!! She also loves animals, yoga, and mangoes. Melissa teaches our bouldering clinic.
	John John is originally from Easton, Pennsylvania, the second place in the original 13 colonies where the Declaration of Independence was read. Although climbing is a passion for John, the call of the library overpowers the call of the crags these days. His goals include attaining a PhD in history and climbing big wall routes in the Valley. John teaches our Lead Clinic.
