Brett Smith - Manager Born into a family of outdoor enthusiasts, Brett discovered the sport of rock climbing relatively late in life. The summer of 2009 marked the start of his vertical endeavors, after which he quickly fell in love with the grace and technique of climbing. His passion began on the sharp end of the rope but quickly developed an interest in the dynamic movement of bouldering. While sampling new terrain outdoors, he can be found clipping bolts or stomping crash pads in the near Sierra’s. If he is not hanging around the gym or at the local crag, he can be found hitting the books, studying toward a Master’s degree in Geographic Information Science at San Jose State University. With a professional path that hopefully involves the outdoors, Brett will always keep climbing close at heart. He strives for his next powerful ascent combining strength, balance and a fearless mentality. |

Jeremy Spitz - Asst Manager Jeremy, an expatriate from the nation of Los Angeles was bit by the climbing bug while pursuing his undergrad degree at UC Santa Cruz and has been been hooked ever since. He is stoked to be able to share his passion and pretend that he is a professional climber. When he's not in the gym you can find Jeremy working on or riding his bike, exploring the city, and of course, climbing |

Andrew Andrew was introduced to climbing in 2005 while attending college at UCSB. It was after his first trip outdoors on the Santa Barbara sandstone that he fell in love with climbing and hasn’t looked back. After finishing college he moved back to the bay area and joined the PG team working the front desk. While he enjoys sport climbing, it’s bouldering that he’s most enthusiastic about. Andrew loves everything PG has to offer, but also encourages people to take their acquired strengths outdoors. |

Corinne Corinne's first time climbing was here at PG Belmont in 2005. She started with a belay lesson and occasionally came in with family and friends after that. It was only after some friends took her outside in the Yosemite Valley that she became hooked.She came back to PG with the mindset that she would crush hard the next time. She improved by top roping, but has found much of her climbing appreciation in Sport Climbing. When not at the gym, you will usually find her outside soaking in all the fun and sun the outdoors has to offer. |
