Definitely a cat. I love naps in warm, cozy places.

Year you started working at Sportrock? 2010

Favorite climbing spot? Yosemite in early spring.

Most memorable climbing experience? One of my most memorable moments came at the end of the first day of my first big-wall climb. I was hating life, had been belaying on a 6 inch ledge for hours, was cold, hungry, and had forgotten my headlamp in the bottom of the haul bag. I was just about ready to give up on climbing forever when the sun started to set, and a cloud of a thousand swifts started feeding all around me. Climbing to me is all about stepping back to find beauty in these extreme environments and experiences. You have to get out of your head and recognize that it's a pretty cool planet.

Passions in life? Aside from climbing, I love baking bread, sailing, and playing dungeons and dragons.

Passions in life? My family is always at the top of my list. A recent and strong passion of mine though has become obstacle course racing. If I'm not spending time on either of those things, then you will probably find me in the shop fixing or building something.

How would your family or friends describe you in 3 words? Sarcastic (from my wife), Strong (from my daughter), Blank stare (from my son).

What would surprise us to learn about you? I can add poop and fart lyrics to most Disney tunes, especially Frozen and Descendants. If you want to get your daughter laughing, just sing “let it go, let it go, can’t hold it back anymore.”

If you could be any animal in the world - what would you be and why? Okapi. It is rarely seen and rarely heard of. However, when it finally comes to light you can only think that Prometheus’s children got a hold of the clay one day.

Most memorable climbing experience? Freezing temps. 50-degree sleeping bags. Car stuck in the mud. Unable to start a fire. Finally start a fire. Snow. Fire goes out. Car still stuck in mud.

What roles have you had as a Sportrock employee? Belay bot for parties and open climb; Summer Camp instructor; Private Lesson instructor; Head Camp Coordinator; Marketing Manager.

Passions in life? School is and always will be one of my great passions. If I could professionally collect degrees in various fields, I would. Also, publishing a novel is a lifelong dream of mine. So I would say, besides climbing: learning, writing, music, environmentalism...and climbing.

How would your family or friends describe you in 3 words? Follows directions.

Jeremy Hardin

Senior Director | Director of Routesetting (L5)

Year you started climbing? 2002

Year you started setting? 2004

Year you started working at Sportrock? 2002

How many comps have you set for? 100+ including multiple World Cup and National Championships.

What is your goal when setting? For gym setting, I try to make every climb consistent in grade, with respect to height and reach, with flow and memorable sequences or movement. For comp setting, the goal is to create fun and fair routes or problems to separate the field of competitors. We try to test all abilities and styles for the overall "best" climber of the event.

How do you come up with route names? That's the hardest part of my day. Normally it comes down to the first two words I can rhyme that are appropriate.

Favorite route name? One Crazy Hooker.

What inspires you to stay constantly creative? My reputation.

Setting pet peeves? When climbers do a sequence or move incorrectly or harder than what is obvious and then complain the movement was "awkward"... sometimes it's not the climb that’s awkward, it's the climber.

Words of advice to climbers who get stumped on your routes? Try harder.

Passions in life? My wife and son, cars and trucks, fixing stuff.

How would your family or friends describe you in 3 words? He’s a Workhorse.

What would surprise us to learn about you? I train and compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

If you could be any animal in the world - what would you be and why? A Lion, because he’s the king of the jungle!

Stephen Meinhold

Head Routesetter (L4)

Year you started climbing? 1996

Year you started setting? 2001

Year you started working at Sportrock? 2017

How many comps have you set for? 32

Why did you start setting? Early on I was more focused on competing than setting. I competed in ABS & USA Climbing National events, UBC Pro Tour events, Mammut Bouldering Championships, Dark Horse Series, Portland Boulder Rally, 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell, and even an Ice Climbing comp. I thought comps started to neglect the competitor for "world cup" style problems so I started to focus on setting to better understand this style. I have been head setter for a few different gyms in NC, PA, and OR over the years, and I have set multiple USA Climbing National events.

What is your goal when setting? To force you to do whatever I want you to do.

How do you come up with route names? I stare at the computer screen and mumble until I come up with something.

Favorite route name? Manilla Vanure.

What inspires you to stay constantly creative? Coffee and pastries.

Setting pet peeves? Metric bolts.

Words of advice to climbers who get stumped on your routes? Seek out beta or work it out with a friend. Sometimes I can set very contrived with a specific sequence, so if you can't figure it out maybe someone else can. Just like outside, learning how to project routes can help with the redpoint process. More pull-ups always help.

Passions in life? My wife and baby boy... and cookies, all of them.

How would your family or friends describe you in 3 words? Slow-motion Train Wreck.

What would surprise us to learn about you? Before getting back in the gym I was a High School Chemistry/Physics/Math teacher. I have horrible balance. I am a huge fan of rap and hip-hop.

If you could be any animal in the world - what would you be and why? Gorilla, it’s my spirit animal.

Year you started setting? 2009

Year you started working at Sportrock? 2012

How many comps have you set for? Dozens.

Why did you start setting? I would skip class to go climb at Virginia Beach Rock Gym while my friends, Scott Johns and Tommy Morrison, were setting and they kind of took me under their wing.

What is your goal when setting? To force the movement, duh...

How do you come up with route names? I keep an ongoing list in my phone of things and phrases that I think would make good route names. There’s lots of pop culture references.

Favorite route name? All my favorite route names are NSFW.

What inspires you to stay constantly creative? The bills don't pay themselves.

Setting pet peeves? Not having enough coffee.

Words of advice to climbers who get stumped on your routes? Trade beta for baked goods.

Passions in life? Rock climbing, yoga, art, building things.

How would your family or friends describe you in 3 words? Doesn't follow instructions well.

What would surprise us to learn about you? I’m a bit of a neat freak.

If you could be any animal in the world - what would you be and why? A pug, everybody likes pugs.

What would surprise us to learn about you? I hate winter and being cold, but I love the snow.

Year I Started Climbing: 2005

Started at Sportrock: 2010

Favorite Climbing Spot: Summersville, WV

About Me: Climbing means a lot to me; I started climbing with my younger brother when I was 15 years old. The challenge of moving your body through space and moving between holds like a big puzzle is amazing. The gratification of trying something that seems impossible at first, and working it until it becomes doable, is something I hope everyone gets a chance to experience. The opportunity to help foster that feeling in others is a really rewarding one.

If I could be any animal in the world: A giraffe; it would be nice to use that tall beta.

Alexandria Head Coach of Advanced TEam

Year I Started Climbing: Feb. 2018

Number of Years Coaching: Sept. 2018

Favorite Climbing Spot: The New River Gorge

About Me: I first came to Sportrock in February of 2018 and immediately fell in love with the gym and climbing as a sport. After getting hired as a summer camp counselor, I realized quickly this was a job I really enjoyed. In the few months I went from being just a camp counselor to being an instructor, manager, outdoor guide, and now Advanced Team Head Coach. I'm very excited to be able to spread my passion for climbing with the next generation of climbers and help them reach their goals.

If I could be any animal in the world: I would be a sloth so I can really take the time to enjoy climbing.

Chris Oshinski

STERLING Head Coach of COMPETITIVE TEam

Year I Started Climbing: 2011

Number of Years Coaching: 5-6 years

Favorite Climbing Spot: 

About Me: A climbing team combines the individual growth and rewards found in an athlete's hard work and problem-solving with a positive, supportive atmosphere. Through my experiences as a father and through my academic pursuits, I understand how pivotal seemingly minor relationships, networks, and events can be. Regardless of an athlete's reasons for being involved with our Junior Team, I want them to develop or maintain a positive self-image, mutually beneficial social relationships, and a strong work ethic. The respect gained for one's self and for others safeguards our dignity and reaffirms our value.

Favorite Climbing Spot: Sportrock Sterling, obviously.

If I could be any animal in the world: I would be a Sea Turtle--assuming I survive the violent and traumatic early stages of my sea turtle life, I have a lovely 100 years of seafaring ahead of me, living under the waves and munching on jellyfish (they have it coming).

About Me: Lisa is originally from Ogden, Utah and moved to Washington DC in June of 2018. She started rock climbing at the age of 17 when some of her co workers invited her outside and has never looked back since!

When Lisa isn't rock climbing, she enjoys backpacking, cooking vegan food, and playing fetch with her dog 

If I could be any animal in the world: Bush baby, because they are so fluffy and have tiny little people hands

How many comps have you set for? Over ten.

Why did you start setting? I got to know Jeremy in the summer of 2012, I think at the time I was just some psyched young punk who served as some good motivation for Jeremy to push himself bouldering. He let me set a boulder one day, maybe I bugged him about it, I can't remember exactly. 

What is your goal when setting? To teach people how to climb.

How do you come up with route names? Big brain time. 

Favorite route name?  What Is Normal For The Spider Is Chaos To The Fly

What inspires you to stay constantly creative? Knowing that I can always do better

Setting pet peeves? Children running, parents not paying attention.

Words of advice to climbers who get stumped on your routes? A move feeling awkward or uncomfortable is a good thing, it means you've found something that you've never done before. Smash that move relentlessly until it feels easy and you will know you have improved. 

Passions in life? Creation, Meditation, Vegetables, Cleaning new boulder problems outside, Performing at your peak physically, Good friends. 

How would your family or friends describe you in 3 words? Driven, Confident, Honest (when I shouldn't be)
