Josh Boyle

Founder, Programs and Events Manager

Josh has been climbing in the gym and outdoors since 2007 and has been sharing his passion with friends, family and youth ever since. Josh learned how to climb institutionally with Central Wyoming College and NOLS while also learning from the great climbers in Lander, Wyoming. Some of Josh’s favorite places he’s climbed with his wife, family and friends is Joshua Tree National Park, Unaweep Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, Sinks Canyon, Wild Iris and Smith Rock. He’s also taught students sport, top-rope and bouldering from Southern California to Central Washington to the boulders in our very own Bears Den. Currently, Josh shares his love for adventuring outdoors as Director of Education for ECO EdVentures, which has been partnering with Ascend the last 3 years to offer afterschool climbing club and summer camps for local youth. Josh’s true passion for climbing is sharing the sport with his family, youth and adults, and looks forward to growing the local climbing community.
