Erica
Erica finds joy in the simple things in life. When you get to know her you'll find that it doesn't take much to put a smile on her face. She is enjoying life, currently going to school part time for a degree in biology, working full time at PG, and going climbing and snowboarding whenever she has the chance.

Peter

Lover of rock climbing, skiing, piano, pasta, fine wines and hearty laughter amongst friends and family. Peter believes in doing what brings you joy. He also believes in a flying spaghetti ball monster. 

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.

Dylan

Dylan started climbing in 2007. He is front desk, a BRC instructor, and coaches our youth climbing team. If you don’t find him in the gym climbing you will find him at the beach, in the snow, at the crag, or scrambling through the boulders. He loves to talk about gear, climbs, or about anything for that matter so feel free to ask him questions or just say hi.

Casey

Born right here in the bay area, Casey has grown up doing everything from skiing and snowboarding to playing water polo for his high school. He started climbing almost ten years ago and has focused on bouldering for the majority of his climbing career. He's thrown down problems from the local bay area spots to Jtree, Yosemite Valley, Toulumne Meadows, Tahoe, North Cal Coast, Oregon, Washington, all the way up to Squamish, B.C. Casey has been with PG for almost two years now, working the front desk, doing belay lessons and BRC. Whenever he has time off from climbing he works 40 hour weeks(almost) as a framing carpenter.

Colin

Colin picked up climbing and photography around the same time.  He loves how climbing brings him to some of the most beautiful places in the world. Since his first trip to Bishop he has been doing his best to capture how beautiful these places are in still photo and video. Check out his work at http://vimeo.com/barple
