Mick Petts - Asst. Manager Born and raised in the Peak District, England, Mick relocated to San Francisco in 2003 to pursue his climbing obsession and escape his homeland's notouriously bad weather. When not working at Planet Granite, he likes to spend as much time as possible climbing in and around the Sierras. He's just as at home flailing on flared hand cracks as he is testing out his friend's spotting skills and crashpad qualities. Outside of climbing he remains a big fan of music and film and continues his quest to find the perfect bowl of ramen. |

Patty T Patty T. Nowak is an energetic and friendly soul who has been climbing for just over a year. He makes it his personal goal to brighten everybody’s day whether they’re in the gym or out in the world. Taking great pride in the fact that his car only moves to avoid parking tickets, you will often see him zipping through the city on his bicycle when he isn’t running around, practicing his parkour skills (or lack thereof). He dreams of someday being able to juggle. |

Ivan Ivan, a native of the Philippine Islands, is a senior at San Francisco State University and a sophmore at the school of hard knocks. Always the one-man wolf-pack, Ivan is known to roam the mean streets of the sunset district on his 49cc moped looking for trouble and excitement in this brick-laced, gutter-lined origami we call life. Ivan started out at Planet Granite at the original Santa Clara gym as an event staff employee, bringing joy and meaning to young peoples' lives and has since worked his way up to the current position of Supervisor. In contention this year for the coolest guy in the Presidio award, Ivan hopes to up his game by hunting down snow leopards on a regular basis, living on a strict diet of steel screws and lugnuts and finally exposing the elusive Higgs Boson. |

Julia Given that she is from Southern California, Julia was fortunate to get her climbing start in local spots such as Malibu Creek, Stoney Point, and Echo Cliffs. Although this journey only began a few short years ago, she has traveled across the country from the New in West Virginia to Red Rocks in Nevada, and hopes to continue going on adventures around the world in pursuit of her passion. She enjoys all styles of climbing but especially loves being on the sharp end, ascending a technical face climb with delicate movements. Outside of the climbing realm, Julia likes to spend her time volunteering at Benioff Children’s Hospital, making raspberry jam, and perfecting her skills on the pottery wheel so she can create an abundance of coffee mugs. |

Lexee Lexee’s story starts when she packed her bags and moved from America’s high-five state to California. She discovered gym climbing at the ripe age of 20 while working as an event staff at the PG Sunnyvale and has climbed pretty much every day since then. After transferring to PG SF and finishing her meteorology degree, Lexee has fully immersed herself in the PG climbing community. If there are three things Lexee is good at, weather forecasting and climbing are one of them. She enjoys sport climbing but gravitates toward the problem solving aspect of bouldering. When she is not climbing, setting, coaching team, or disinfecting rental shoes, you can find Lexee eating cookie dough, surfing, or walking her bike up the steep hills in the city. |

Jack A lover of all things outdoors Jack started climbing his freshman year of college at UCSC. While most at home in the bouldering area, you can find him working on his technique and endurance on the tall walls at Planet Granite’s San Francisco location. When not working on his latest project you might see Jack around town picking up ingredients for his latest food experiment or looking for new and interesting beers and cheeses to sample. |

Chris Raised on a healthy diet of welded tuff and basalt, Chris began climbing in Central Oregon at the height of the 90s. He competed throughout his childhood and on through college at Brown University. Taking a step back from competitions, he took to the road sampling the best stone the US has to offer in search of the perfect problem. Compulsively unable to take rest days, he's now back on the West Coast eagerly awaiting the next big adventure. |

Primo Primo is a Bay Area native who's always been active and loves playing all sports. When it comes to climbing he loves the problem solving, and power moves of bouldering. When Primo's not in the gym he is either bouldering outdoors over the weekend, or hanging out with his daughter, Hailey, who you might also catch hanging out at PG. |

Megan With her canine co-pilot Jasper, Megan has lived and explored locations throughout her native East Coast and West. Most recently, she has found herself working on an MFA in Photography at Academy of Art University. When shes not climbing or taking photographs, Megan can be found thinking up excuses to host theme dinners. She ALWAYS saves room for desert. |

Justin Having moved from North Carolina two years ago, Justin is joining Planet Granite after an 8 year stint from climbing. He started at the ripe age of 8, and is excited to crush all boulders and big walls in his hawk-like gaze in the coming year. When not training like a madman you can find Justin having a go of it on the Soccer (Football to our far-east neighbors) pitch. Justin also enjoys a great book and home-brewed beer with his cat George Washington. |

Jamila Jamila, a San Francisco native, is an avid climber and time piece aficionado. Outside of the climbing world, you can find her designing clothes and accessories as a self-taught seamstress, embellishing canvas with a brush, or manically studying to become your future Dietician. |

Abbey Abbey's climbing journey began when she first moved to San Francisco, sight unseen, from the East Coast in 2007. Her passion for climbing and outdoor adventures soon took over her life and led her to Planet Granite. After spending a year climbing and skiing all over North Lake Tahoe she returned to SF extra stoked to train hard, play on rock whenever possible, and share her love for climbing with the PG community again. Biking and making music account for most of the other joy in her life. |
