Gym Designer and Owner Chris Sierzant has been rock climbing since he could
walk and is happiest when he is at the crag with his friends. The
Red River Gorge is his favorite place to climb and his favorite place
to boulder is Hueco.
He has excelled in the sport and is proud to be
sponsored by Blue Water, Revolution, La Sportiva, Fusion, Prana, Power Bar, and Omega
Pacific.
Chris built his first climbing gym in his garage so that he
could become a stronger climber. He had a dream that some day he
would build a real Rock Climbing Gym that would challenge experienced
climbers while making sure to have designated areas and routes that
appeal to beginners and novice climbers.
Chris knows the potential of bouldering competition and has designed his gym to challenge climbers at every level. Being a third degree blackbelt in Choi Kwang Do, he has developed a unique climbing class to engage young climbers with monthly tests of strength and a youth division in competitions.
Escalade is the home of the "Power Series", a bouldering competition
held every two months. The Series start in April and end with a
final round in February. Chris intends to build on his dream with new
and exciting features and travels around the world to check out new
ideas for his gym.
